Can Donuts Be Baked Instead of Fried?

Hey fellow bakers! I've been experimenting in the kitchen and wondering if anyone has tried baking donuts instead of frying them. Can it be done? And if so, how do they turn out? Looking forward to your insights and tips!

You can definitely bake donuts instead of frying them! They'll be lighter and less greasy, but they won't have the same classic donut texture. They'll be more cake-like, like baked apple fritters. Still delicious, though!
