Maple Bacon Mini Donuts

Recipes

We’ve been doing it for years and you can too… We’re making homemade donuts!

This recipe is a little different than the donuts we serve at the farm for Maple Month, but they’re just as special. What’s even better is that most of these ingredients are already in your cupboards and fridge, so what are you waiting for?
