Chocolate Frosted Baked Donut Recipe
Since my recovery from foot surgery is taking longer than expected, I try to make it up to the kids in other ways. Like surprising them with special treats when I can. One night, Jas took the kids downstairs to play. They can do whatever down there, from kick balls to sewing, and I can’t go down right now so it’s fun for them! I took about 20 minutes and whipped up this chocolate frosted baked donut recipe.
When they came upstairs, they were scrounging the kitchen for the chocolate cake they thought I had made. They literally jumped up and down when they saw these donuts resting!
Now keep this tip in your back pocket Mommas…

They knew they had to wait until morning to enjoy the chocolatey goodness and they were super easy to wake the next morning.
