Ube Macapuno Baked Donuts: Sweet Filling in A Pillowy Soft Bread

Spread the love
Ube Macapuno Baked Donut

This Ube Macapuno Baked Donuts Recipe is one of my journey in bread making and experimenting. Most donuts are fried and for me it is delicious. However, if I’m the one who is going to fry it, that’s another story. I made donuts before and their fried. Frying in this time of the year is a big no for me. The weather is so hot.

Besides the hot environment when frying, it is very costly. You’ll need a lot of oil to fry a batch of donuts. On the other hand, baking the donuts are simple. Simply place a batch of donut dough on a baking tray and bake it for few minutes and that’s it. Of course, there will be some differences but all in all, the donuts taste good.

So why donuts? My mom was scrolling her facebook and my sister – in – law posted a picture of her donuts. She told me it looks delicious and I told her we will make some tomorrow. I told her I’ll bake it instead of frying. She agreed and told me that cooking oil is expensive.

Knowing my parents, specially my dad, they have sensitive taste to sweets. A little sugar and its already too sweet for them. So for this recipe, I refrain myself from rolling the donuts in sugar or even dust it with powdered sugar.

Tips

This Ube Macapuno Baked Donuts Recipe can make 18 pieces of 40-gram weight donut dough. You can actually fry the dough if you like the more traditional way of making donuts. Then roll it on sugar or dust it with powdered sugar while still hot. If you decided to bake this recipe and cover it with sugar, do it while the donuts are still hot so the sugar will still stick on the surface.

If you prefer other flavors of filling or the classic custard filling, simply replace the Alaska Condensada with the regular condensed milk and the ube flavor with vanilla flavor.
