Biscoff Doughnuts

Pin It

I had been doing so well.

Doughnuts are everywhere right now. I assume doughnut pans have been around for a while from specialty shops or restaurant supply stores but their recent availability at every turn has made the doughnut the latest darling of the food blogosphere. I've resisted buying one because I am not a big fan of one use tools in the kitchen. Until now.

I'm not even sure what pushed me to finally succumb to all of the hype, but succumb I did. I'm not a visionary, but I see a lot of doughnuts in my future. They are simply too easy to whip up, and so satisfying both to make and eat.

While I have lots of ideas for doughnut flavors, I wanted to incorporate the other It Girl of the blog world, Biscoff Spread. Longtime lovers of Biscoff cookies, I knew I had to get my hands on a jar of the spread asap. Tastes exactly like the cookies. Exactly! After tinkering around with the quantity of Biscoff to add to the batter and the glaze, I think I came up with a winner. At least it was a winner around here and the to the random strangers my husband gave some too.

The doughnut has a subtle flavor from the spiciness of the spread and the than an extra punch of the warm spice is found in the glaze. I left a few streaks of the spread in the batter so every so often you would bite into a delicious pool of Biscoff yumminess. Biscoff Doughnuts. How trendy is that?

Now if I can figure out how to set the trends instead of following...
