The moleskin was a success! I covered my blister with a patch of the moleskin and the rubbing ceased for my 4 mile run. My legs are still not 100% back to normal yet, so it was a slow 10 minute mile run. But as I always say its better to approach things slowly then to give it all I got and end up with an injury!
I hoped I spiked some interest in you last night concerning my dessert. I loved reading all of you guesses, but only one person was able to guess what it truly was and I kind of wish I had a prize for her.

Congrats Kelly!
What is that – some kind of donut? I can’t wait to find out!
Yes, Heather you are right! It was a donut..haha
Earlier this week Mica had featured Baked Banana Donuts on her blog. In the spirit of Cereal Free Week, I figured what better of a breakfast option is there in the morning then fresh donuts?
So I baked up a batch of donuts last night using the recipe found here but instead of mashed banana I used applesauce.
I was actually very proud of myself to form the donut shape on the baking sheet.
I also halved the recipe and ended up with just shy of a dozen donuts.
I knew I could not resist testing out one of my donut creations with them staring me in the fact so I chowed into one for dessert. Of course, I had to try and replicate my favorite donut of them all… Chocolate Icing Covered Donut!
I melted a mix of Chocolate Chips and Butterscotch Chips then dunked the donut in the chocolate-buttery goodness until it was coated. Then I immediately put the bowl under water so I would not start scraping it with my tongue.
The chocolate coated donut was AMAZING!!! It may be something you see again for dessert tonight. 😉
This morning I enjoyed three different variations of my donuts with a cup of fruit salad on the side.
The first donut was dipped in plain Vanilla Chobani, the second coated with Pumpkin Butter and the third was a combination of Lemon Curd and Vanilla Chobani.
I think my FAVORITE was the mix of Lemon Curd and Vanilla Chobani. Seriously this is my new favorite combination of flavors and it was the perfect ‘icinig’ for the donut!
The Lemon Curd and Vanilla Chobani was also a great combination in the fruit salad that included Kiwi, Grapes and Strawberries.
It was really a fun breakfast treat that brought back an old favorite I haven’t had in years!!! If you have the time I highly suggest making your won donuts! Yum!!
What is your favorite donut and from where? I just have two words for this answer… Hot Now…. Umm.. Hello?!?!?! Who doesn’t love a HOT Krispy Kreme?!?!?! I grew up with a Dad who refused to drive by a Krispy Kreme with a hot sign lit up out front and not go inside…lol 🙂
Oooh I’ve got those donuts bookmarked and just need to find a good moment to bake them up!
Looks deeeelish!
Oh man, I’m glad I could be inspirational for your cereal-free week! (Well, I guess it was more Roommate Tina!) These turned out great, I love the chocolate-dipped dessert one.
Eventually, I hope to have time to try the recipe myself,haha.
AHHH!! Omfg, I HAVE to make these over Spring Break! Those look absolutely amazing! We didn’t really get to eat many donuts, but the Tim Holes from Tim Horton’s were always purched en route to Canada. Also, my mom used to let us get a donut when we went grocery shopping at Meijer, and I used to get the DELICIOUS chocolate-glazed, custard-filled eclair. Oh I didn’t realize it, but I kinda miss that!
Oh my goodness those look so good! I really like dense donuts, rather than the airy Krispy Cremes, and these look like they would be a good substitute. I haven’t had a donut in I don’t know how long, b/c I feel bad after I eat them. THIS is so awesome, I can’t wait to try it!
I haven’t had donuts in a long time! These are fabulous. I love them!
These look so yummy! How much applesauce did you use? Can’t wait to try them out!
Thanks 🙂
For halving the recipe I used 1/3 cup of applesauce
woah those donuts look amazing!!! i like cakey donuts. Theres a place called fractured prune in maryland and it is the absolute best! you get a fresh hot donut and then you tell them what you want it dipped in. you can create your own! love it yummm ah it reminds me of the beach!
I have seen baked donuts on a few blogs and always want to make them. I think you have me convinced!! The chocolate one looks really yummy.
I can’t tell you the last time I had a donut. I tried to scope out some munchkins as an airport DD over the summer, but no luck. I’m going to have to say munchkins were my favorite, but I haven’t had one in 15 years!
Donuts! That’s awesome. I can’t believe I haven’t tried to make some yet. They look great!

Oooooo, I’m with you on the Krispy Kremes…I love Dunkin Donuts too. LOL
Once a year when we go on vacation we go to DD or KK every morning for a week…it’s wonderful! In theory it sounds totally gross, but it’s our once-a-year indulgence.
mmmm, yum. even better than my guess! yet another recipe for me to bookmark 🙂
i looooove iced blueberry donuts — dunkin used to have them but i they seem to be few and far between these days. favorite #2 is a strawberry iced donut with rainbow sprinkles … probably because i walk by a cart full of them on the street every morning and then spend the rest of the day daydreaming about them!
What a great breakfast!! I actually posted about donuts this morning. Glad you awere able to get in a run, Enjoy your day.
ive never had a krispy kreme before even though my dad has routinely eaten a dozen at a time. and he’s not even huge or anything!
HOLY FREAKING YUM DONUT GOODNESS!!
Those doughnuts look so yummy; I think I am going to have to make some this weekend!
I went to school at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC (I.e., the home of Krispy Kreme). There are a TON of stores there and I swear they always have on the “Hot Now” sign. Good thing I didn’t have the same rule as your Dad!
I’m a Boston girl, so my favorite has always been Dunkin Donuts’ powdered! I havent had one in YEARS tho, not even as a treat… because while I enjoy them at the time, I just find them so unsatisfying. But I want to make yours! those look GOOD!
Wow, Meghann! Those donuts look incredible. What a fantastic breakfast!

we don’t have KK up here anymore 🙁 and when i mean up here, we still had to drive 2+ hours to get them
i schedule my vacations around KK
there is a small little bakery about 20 minutes from our house who makes good donuts. i have a recipe for pumpkin ones that are tasty.
oh man, those look amazing!
I would have to have one of the choc/butterscotch ones for breakfast, too 🙂
There’s this local place here, Carol Lee, that makes the BEST donuts. Ever. My favorites are the chocolate cake, toasted coconut, and maple iced. Yum!
The donuts look great! I have seen them around and will have to try them. You should be completely happy with a 10 min mile pace! It isnt THAT slow…but I am partial. 😉 hey – it’s all about perspective!
I love raspberry filled donuts from Krispy Kreme but never get them. They are so good!
Those homemade donuts looks awesome.
OH MY! I want those, those look delicious!!!
My favorite is the maple kind, but I’m not picky. I lov donuts and I think I eat maybe…2 a year? I like the local donut shop kind better than krispy Kreme…although I haven’t had a KK donut in years, so I don’t really remember what it tastes like.
Anyone out there watch 30 Rock? “You ever stuck a donut in the microwave?” -Liz Lemon aka my TV character clone (sad as that is to admit!)
Great work! What a fun breakfast!….I don’t like donuts. I know I know- I just never really have?
those looks fantastic, especially with all the coatings on them! YUM
I’m with you on the lava hot krispy kreme love. So good!
Wow.. I haven’t had a donut in FOREVER and those look FANTASTIC. I may have to try that recipe out soooon!
Hmm.. I never had the pleasure of have a hot krispy kreme donut 🙁 I used to love the strawberry frosted donuts w/ sprinkles from dunkin donuts!
I started my own blog finally: http://dailydulcie.wordpress.com/
That’s awesome! I am glad you’re enjoying the Lemon Curd too.
I actually don’t love donuts. Even when I was little I would pick a bagel or muffin, but there is a good place near my parents’ house that makes them fresh. They also make donut cakes, which are wonderous!
Those look delicious So creative with the toppings! I love glazed donuts with chocolate icing!! Thanks, now I am craving donuts haha!
OMG how incredible! I would never have thought of baking my own doughnuts! Imma check it out now. Nice Job!
WOW! Those look great!
http://www.redheadedjournal.wordpress.com
I made those a couple weeks ago and sent them away to my hubbys co-workers, I NEED to make them for me and try all your icings!
What an awesome recipe – thank you for posting! 🙂 I definitely want to try it out.
glazed chocolate is my fav…. mmmm… from dunkin donuts.
Awesome, I will have to make some donuts for the girls! My mom used to get a box from Dunkin Donuts and then cut a few up into about eight pieces and she’d give us fondue forks and we’d sample the different flavors. I guess my mom could be really cool sometimes.
Tim Hortons doughnuts up in here Canada used to be the best — they’ve since gone cardboardish. I think the best place for doughnuts now is a grocery store near my parent’s place. They’re always SO FRESH and have the best apple fritters!!
I printed out that recipe a few days ago and now I have to make them this weekend!!
My favorite donut as a little girl was jelly from Dunkin Donuts. LOVED them. I also liked the honey dipped (aka glazed, we called them honey dipped) and glazed chocolate cake. I only ate the glazed part of the chocolate though.
I’ve never had krispy kreme. They opened a few up here but they didn’t last too long. We are dunkin’ people.
Ok see my comment above? Well I just had a donut (well 1/2 of one) last week and someone just dropped off FOUR DOZEN donuts to thank my department and a few others for our hard work this week.
It’s going to be a long day, ladies and gents.
My GOODNESS that looks AMAZING!!! Baked donuts and lemon curd sound so incredible right now!!!
I’ve only had a hot Krispy Kreme like twice…a couple locations came to the Boston area a few years ago but they didnt last…Dunkin Donuts owns New England in the donut front haha! I do miss those hot ones!!!
Darn, I totally knew it was a donut and didn’t comment 🙂 I know my desserts!
You have inspired me to try a new recipe!
Oh my GOSH – those look and sound incredible!!
I think I have to agree with you on Krispy Kreme!
I’ve made baked pumpkin donuts before – yours look good too!
Dunkin Donuts Apple Fritter – heated up in the oven!
Those donuts look delicious, I am going to try them!
Where/what is your lemon curd? It sounds so good! Do you get it from a store?
wooooo…… your baked donuts looks delicious!!!!! My favorite one from these three options would be pumpkin! 😀 (I haven’t had donuts for years, so I can’t even remember what was my fav)
AMAZING! I love donuts =)
mmm donuts…there’s literally 5 dunks within 1 minute from my office in boston & my fav is chocolate glazed. i cant even remember the last time i had one because if i eat one then i want like 5 a day. haha
I love Dunkin Donuts… Those look pretty good though so I think I’ll make some!
Meghann, I loved this breakfast – sounds so good, and there is NOTHING better than a simple glazed donut from Krispy Kreme!
I love donuts! I like pumpkin spice donuts. So good!
oh man do those look good! i just may have to make those this weekend. i bet it would taste heavenly with nutella on top :] my favorite is just the simple glazed twist donuts! with a nice glass of cold soy milk. yummy!!
Great breakfast it looks so fantastic!
I don’t like Krispy Kremes too sweet for my liking, I am however a fan of just plain donuts from dunking donuts or a simple glazed, I’m easy to please.
Cool!!!!
I think we’re on the same wavelength here 🙂 I had a VERY similar dinner last night… and had baked the donuts from Oh She Glows recipe page this morning 🙂 I topped mine with dark chocolate PB, though 🙂 I am LOVING the lemon curd! YUM
Ooooh! Those look great!
I’m not a huge donut fan, but I do like long johns (the ones filled with mystery cream, not the white stuff). 🙂
Yum! Donuts! At my undergrad we have a tradition where sometime in the fall the president will cancel classes for the day and we all go eat Krispy Kreme donuts in the dining hall, and then dress up in crazy costumes and and climb a nearby mountain and do skits and sing songs to each other. Gotta love college 🙂
Mmmmm…donuts (said in a Homer voice).
My fave donut is either a honey crueller or sour cream glazed. And ya know, I’ve only had a Krispy Cream once, and thought it was highly overrated. Give me good ol’ Canandian Tim Horton’s anyday!
I so need to make those donuts.
Ok, those donuts officially have me drooling. Is it time for lunch?! Seriously, I’m loving all of your combinations – the chocolate topping especially because it holds a place in my heart. My dad used to go to the grocery store every Sunday to pick up donuts for us. My favorite was either chocolate or chocolate with sprinkles!
I also have a soft spot for Krispy Kreme. We were SO excited when they came to our town. And the Dunkin Donuts donut holes in chocolate cake – can you tell that I know my donuts?!
Do these actually taste like donuts or is it just yummy baked dough? My favorite donut is the Boston Creme from Dunkin Donuts. Mmm, I want one now! 😉
I want to make those RIGHT NOW! 🙂
They look amazing
