I was relieved because if I had made them just for us, there was a strong possibility that I would eat them all by myself! As they were baking in the oven and the sweet smells of cinnamon and sugar filled my house, I started to feel like I was losing all of my well-intentioned dieting inhibitions. Believe me, you guys – I hate to admit it, but I am definitely capable of eating 16 doughnuts all by myself. Especially these ones. When these Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts came out of the oven, all rational thought went out the window as I decided my mouth was somehow heatproof and dug right in, unable to wait for them to cool before I taste-tested them. Just look at these! If you could smell the mouth-watering aroma at the moment, I’m sure you’d understand – and have a burnt tongue too! After drizzling them with the vanilla bean glaze, they were no longer just Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts. They were Cinnamon Baked BOMBS! I mean, really – how can one be expected to be rational when these are on her kitchen counter??!!?
