Bacon Pancake Donuts

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Bacon Pancake Donuts – An easy and simple recipe for baked donuts that are topped with a maple glaze and sprinkled with crispy cooked bacon on top.

One of my favorite donuts is a maple frosted long john and the donut shop has one that is topped with crispy bacon. This donut is kind of nod to the maple bacon long john but much lower in calories and it’s not deep-fried. These donuts are baked in a donut pan, dipped in maple glaze, and sprinkled them with crispy bacon. The donut consistency reminds me of a pancake and that is why I love these so much. 

Donut

The donut recipe is just a simple recipe for pancake batter and yes you can use a donut pan to make pancakes with! If you’re an extremely lazy cook like I am sometimes, whip up some prepared pancake batter instead of the recipe down below. 

Glaze  

The glaze is made of powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup. Unsweetened almond milk can be subbed instead of regular milk if you have dairy allergies. Sugar-free maple syrup can also be used in place of regular syrup. 

Bacon 

When it comes to bacon I like to use the good old microwave to cook it. I’ll get the Hormel Black Label microwave bacon at Sam’s Club and it is ready to eat in 30 seconds since everything is already cooked. Of course, you can use your own favorite bacon for the top but you will have to adjust the points in the recipe builder. 

How to make Bacon Pancake Donuts 

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium, combine flour, salt, and brown sugar. Stir together. Form a hole in the middle of the flour mixture and add the maple syrup, milk, and egg. 

Spoon two tablespoons of the donut mixture into the donut pan (hole). Makes about 12donuts.

 Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. While the donuts are baking cook the bacon over the stove top until crispy. 

Make the frosting: in a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk.

Let the donuts cool once they are done baking in the oven. Dip the donut in the frosting mixture and sprinkle the bacon on top. Enjoy.

Makes 10 regular size donuts. Serving size: 1 donut.
