Pineapple Bacon Donuts Recipes

PINEAPPLE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 2 donut pans with cooking spray; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine yellow cake mix, eggs, pineapple juice, coconut milk and vegetable oil until batter is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
• Spoon or pipe batter into prepared pan, filling only about 1/2 way up the sides. Use an offset spatula or spoon to spread evenly, then bake for 12 minutes until donut cakes are set. Let cool 5 minutes on a wire rack, then invert cakes on rack to cool completely.
• Melt the yellow and light cocoa candy melts according to instructions. Dip each donut into the melted yellow chocolate, dipping them deep enough to just fill the center. Remove and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let set completely.
• Transfer melted light cocoa candy melts to a small squeeze bottle or pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe crossing lines onto each donut, about 4 going in each direction. Top with pineapple top cutouts.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN DONUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl.
• Add buttermilk, (I used milk with ½ tablespoons lemon juice, let it sit for 5 minutes), egg, and melted butter. Beat until just combined. Set aside.
• Spray the pan with oil and then lay pineapple chunks in bottom of donut mold to cover the bottom of each donut.
• In a small frying pan, melt butter and add ¼ c brown sugar, let it caramelize and then pour evenly on top of pineapple.
• Pour batter on top and bake for 20 minutes, or until tops of donuts are set.
• Place a plate on top and then flip the plate and pan at the same time to release the donuts right side up on the plate! Enjoy these DELICIOUS treats!

PINEAPPLE BACON DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use a biscuit cutter to cut the pineapple into 4 inch rounds with a 2 inch interior hole. On each pineapple ring, arrange an onion ring, and a 2-3 quarters of the cheese.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around the pineapple ring, trying not to overlap too much. Continue, using 2-3 pieces per ring. Lightly brush with BBQ sauce.
• Arrange the bacon donuts on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned. If bacon is full cooked but not brown, broil for 1-2 minutes.
• Serve with extra BBQ sauce.
