Valentines Day Sweet Treats

Valentines day is one of those weird "holidays", I don't really believe in it that much but it is always fun to get spoiled and also to spoil someone else and to bring a bit of happiness to someone's day.

These Healthy Valentines Vanilla Donuts do just that, they are delicious and also bright and cheerful. They are awesome to share with only your loved one, with friends or family or to send some to school with your kids.

The best part... they are insanely easy to make! As much as I love doing something for someone else, I also don't want to spend my days slaving away to make a batch of donuts for someone... that sounds a little harsh doesn't it? oops...

I'm really horrible when it comes to Valentines day, because I always realise a little too late that it is Valentines day. This ALWAYS results in me having to find some quick way of making the day special or more than often I end up doing nothing...which is never good!

I think that's why I have created things like these yummy Healthy Valentines Vanilla Donuts, it probably happened one year when I was in a rush to find something special and festive that I could make without it taking any time.

These Healthy Valentines Vanilla Donuts are also pretty healthy because they are baked instead of fried, you can easily make it vegan, it is low in fat and of course and most importantly they are still just as delicious and beautiful.

Decorating Valentines Day Donuts

You can really do anything for the topping, I liked the idea of using really bright colours and then chucking on a whole bunch of sprinkles, who doesn't love sprinkles right? I mean have you guys seen Sweetpolita's Spinkle shop? It is AMAZING! I might be a little obsessed with everything she does ;)

How to Make

To make these Healthy Valentines Vanilla Donuts I used a donut pan similar to this awesome Wilton's Donut Pan. So all you have to do is whip up the batter, scoop it into the Donut Pan and bake them. Then make a super quick glaze, dip the donuts and then the best part... going crazy with sprinkles!

Equipment

  • 1 donut baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup Flour/Wholewheat Flour

Notes

Don't overfill the donut cavities - To get the perfect donuts, fill each donut cavity ¾ full before baking. Overfilling the donut cavities will result in flopped donuts.
Grease your pan properly - Make sure to properly grease each donut cavity for the easiest removal. The donut pan can be a little tricky so if not greased properly removing the donuts after baking can be quite difficult.
Allow to cool - Allow the donuts to cool properly before trying to remove them from the donut pan as they might break easily. It is also important to ensure they are fully cooled before glazing the donuts. Hot donuts might result in a melted glaze.
