7 Amazing Baked Doughnuts That Are Better for You Than the Fried Version

7 Amazing Baked Doughnuts That Are Better for You Than the Fried Version

Indulging doesn't have to wreck your diet.

Cupcakes had their day. Cronuts weren't worth the epically long lines. Personally, we're partial to the classic, can't-fail doughnut. The delicious treats are typically deep-fried and coated with sugar, but some all-star food bloggers found a way to make them healthier: Just bake them. Here are some of our favorites.
