Baked Whole Wheat Donuts

Gowing up I had Amy Joy donuts in Niles, Dunkin Donuts, & other brands. The last time I had a regular Donut was when the Krispy Kreme first opened in IL many years ago in either Rosemont or St. Charles, IL in 1999 or 2000. Both locations have long since closed as business died down during the low carb craze and 3 recessions. Recently Wilton has been promoting Donut pans for baking online, on TV, in print and prompted me to purchase one at Bed, Bath & Beyond with my store credit. I only saw a 6 count pan which I assumed was all I would need. It is always healthier to bake anything then frying in oil. This is a basic Donut recipe that I have adapted from 5 other recipes for baked donuts. Now that I have perfected the basic one I will be trying some other flavors with fruits in the batter. I will also buy another 6 count pan and reduce my amount to come out with 12.
