Yes – a donut with alcohol. How genuis is that? It combines lots of the good stuff that makes life worth living. Plus it is baked, so you don’t have to worry about scary boiling oil. Or is that just me? I will not boil oil under any circumstances. #scaredyCat
I have a mini donut pan but am on the look-out for a normal size one. These are teeny tiny so it means you can eat more – score!
Don’t worry if you’re not a big drinker as the rum taste won’t knock you out [or over] – it just adds a zing that makes your heart sing. Or something.
I found this recipe from diethood.com http://diethood.com/mojito-doughnuts/ and tweaked it
GATHER:
1 cup plain flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons rum
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, softened
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat oven to 180C and in a large, heat-proof bowl whisk flour, sugar and baking powder together.
Place milk, butter, egg and rum in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, stirring all the while, until the butter melts.
Remove from heat and pour into the flour mixture and gently stir until combined.
Grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray. Fill a large ziplock bag with the mixture, snip off one corner and pipe into pan.
Depending on size of pan bake for between 9 & 13 minutes / until a skewer comes out clean.
Gently remove from pan and cool on rack. Eat warm [sooo good] or allow to cool completely before dusting with icing sugar.
the hungry mum 
Oooohh mama…I’m hungry for this right now!
hehehe 🙂 I’d send you some but they are looooong gone!
Ahhhh! 😀
you put rum in your doughnuts!!!!! This makes me so happy and I think we should be best friends. Baking and cooking with booze is one of my favorite things (though I’d never turn down a cocktail, haha) to do. (You’ve seen my marshmallows, yes?) Better yet, my daughter has a mini donut maker so I can make these. Totally share your fear of frying. And the baked ones are more healthy, yes?
Thanks for a fun recipe and love the photos.
I may or may not have googled ‘baking with booze’ on more than one occasion 🙂 I love it! Some people freak out but I’ve yet to see anyone drunk from a baked rum donut! And frying anything totally freaks me out – leave that to the professionals I say 🙂
This is a first for me – rum in donuts! I am not a big fan of fried foods and try to bake things if I can – sounds like a recipe I need to try 🙂
Yep, you probably won’t find rum donuts at your local bakery! Give them a go & let me know what you think x
These sound glorious! Right up my street, especially because I’m scared of deep frying too.
So glad I’m not the only one with fear of frying 🙂 These are very moreish.
Sounds amazing!!
They are pretty delish!
Love donuts like the idea of baking instead of deep fry:-)
Give me baked donuts over fried any day! Not scared of calories but I reckon you taste the flavours more when it is baked.
Doughnuts are great! Rum is great! Together….. excellent. I think I should drink rum whilst eating these doughnuts….. or maybe a nip of Ron Swanson’s?
Maybe you should make some of these and dip them into a glass of rum while watching Parks & Rec? Sounds like heaven 🙂
I’m tempted , and I don’t usually eat donuts or gluten! Love that it is baked and so easy!
oooh, am I turning you to the dark side?! These are so worth it!
This reminds me of a tastier version, of a Rum Baba. Also has a hole, but not half as easy to eat as these, (I suspect!)
And easier to make! Never made a rum baba but I bet I’d love them 🙂
Making these this weekend. They sound too good!
yay! hope you love them as much as I do 🙂
What kind of rum do you use? Clear or brown? And is it flavored like coconut or spiced?
I used dark, spiced rum but if you have clear rum in your pantry & you make these let me know how taste.
Donuts AND booze? Oh heck, I’m in.
yeah, it is a combo you *need* in your life x
I keep telling myself not to buy a donut pan because that means I’ll make (and eat) donuts way more often than anyone should. Yours look delicious though!
I do the same thing with earrings actually. I love how earrings look so I purposely never got my ears pierced so I can’t buy earrings (otherwise I’d buy way too many).
I held off for a while but caved. Ditto with the whoopie pie pan. My baking stuff is taking over the kitchen 😉
Oh no.. how dare you to post about donut??? I’m hungry nowwwww…! Hohohohoho
Best make a batch to cure those cravings 🙂
I have a machine to make donuts so I’m definitely trying this! with alcohol? hehe you got me at rum! 😀
I’m following!
anything with alcohol floats my boat 🙂
mine too 😛
Mmmm. Yummy!! Thanks.
They really are!
Eep! We are all doughnut-mad at home and I always keep a bottle of dark rum handy because I bake babas au rhum rather frequently. I daresay this brings two pleasures together!
hey, you don’t need to justify having a bottle of rum handy to me 🙂 I hope you make these, they are loooovely.
I really have to try and bake doughnuts sometime soon!
you’ll love how simple they are – and how excited people are when you present them with a plate of them 🙂
I love the look of your donuts, especially the last image where they’re dusted in icing sugar. I’ve never had a donut with alcohol in it before! These would be wonderful to try xx
Ta! Groggy donuts are a revelation! Sooo yum.
These look amazing! I’ve just bought a donut tin- will have to try out your recipe!
You’ll love your donut tin! Baked donuts are such a cinch to make and there are squillions of great recipes out there.
So much easier than deep frying. Love cooking with rum, it adds lots of flavor.
absolutely! Correct on both counts 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Needless to say, these sound insanely delicious! 😀 I’ve never tried making baked donuts, but I suppose it’s never too late to try. Mmmmmm!
xo
They will be a revelation – so easy & not-really-but-compared-to-the-fried-version-they-have-to-be-kinda healthy
Thank you so much for dropping by #TheWeekendSocial ! I loved this blog post and can not wait to try it out!!!
The rum really got me without a doubt 😉
Perfect wake me up donuts!
Cheers

Rum + baking = 🙂
These sound like the perfect Father’s Day treat. Think I can give my husband a donut pan for his gift?
I reckon you should absolutely give hubby the pan as a gift – it is the gift that keeps on giving 🙂
Rhum Baba!! I love these. Boozy desserts for the win.
ta! I’m totally aboard the rum train – I pulled rum cupcakes out of the oven about half an hour ago 🙂
Thank you for sharing your fantastic blog post on #TheWeekendSocial! I adored it and hope to see you this Thursday at 9 Pm! I am excited to see what you will bring this time!!!

hey! I’ll be back this week 🙂
Wow!
🙂
What can I say, but 🙂
I’m all about the boozey bake 🙂
Hi, I made these today for my little sons. Only I doubled the recipe and used one cup all purpose and one cup mixed oats and whole wheat flour. For the rum, I made a solution of black strap molasses and water. Also used soy milk instead of the milk. It came out so lovely and soft…kids couldnt get enough .thank you so much for your unselfish service.
