Butternut Squash Doughnuts Tips
Can you bake butternut squash doughnuts instead of frying them?
Yes, but there are some drawbacks. While baking produces a healthier alternative to frying, you may lose some of the qualities we love in a good
doughnut. Your doughnuts may not rise as much in the oven as they would in a fryer, and you won't get that nice crispy exterior. But if you're looking for a healthier take, bake them at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until golden.
What kind of glazes can you make to top butternut squash doughnuts?
These butternut squash doughnuts pack so much flavor that the simpler the glaze, the better! Brushing some
maple syrup on top as soon as they're done will highlight all the warm spices in these delicious doughnuts.
How should you store butternut squash doughnuts?
Store butternut squash doughnuts in an airtight container. They'll keep this way for at least 3 days at room temperature. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. For your next homemade doughnut adventure, try these
