Tis’ the season for baking and these baked donuts are the perfect breakfast or sweet treat for the holidays! This fluffy, spiced donut is topped with a sweet, maple glaze and crispy bacon. It’s a flavor combo that will have your friends and family going back for seconds.

As always I used Eggland’s Best eggs in this recipe. Compared to ordinary eggs, EB eggs are the only eggs that contain:

• 6x more vitamin D
• 10x more vitamin E
• 25% less saturated fat
• More than double the Omega-3’s & vitamin B12
