Maple bars were always my favorite doughnut growing up. I loved them and I still do. These BAKED maple donuts are an easy treat to make. The texture is similar to a cupcake and the sweet maple icing is absolutely delicious.

umm… I might have to see what it would take to borrow a donut pan from you so I can try this. I was just randomly thinking of maple donuts this morning. =)
