Donuts… does anyone else think of Homer Simpson chowing down on donuts? Oh gosh, I bet I am the only one. These donuts definitely had me channeling some of Simpson's nostalgia. My brother and I used to watch it together every Sunday, like clockwork. I don’t remember the episodes. I just remember that this would be a time we would both drop everything and just sit together and laugh, oftentimes we would talk over the episode or make a crack about Homer.

I remember when the show first came out and my father told me the show was for adults. That very same night I heard my Dad through the wall watching the show and chuckling to himself. I knew if it made my Dad laugh, it had to be funny!

I hold up a donut and toast to my “Don’t have a cow” tie-dye Bart Simpson t-shirt.

Alas, these donuts are fluffy, delicious, and best of all baked! The strawberry glaze is sweet and tangy. The sprinkles pull it back and remind you this is a sugary donut. Even though, it is a touch on the healthier side. We will keep that part a secret!

You may use lemons, grapefruit, oranges, blood red oranges, blueberries, peaches, or apples to make the glaze. With the citrus fruit, you can squeeze the juice over a strainer. With other fruits cook them, add lemon juice, and strain. As we did in the strawberry mixture. Refer to the Recipe below.
