These baked mojito doughnuts are infused with lime and rum and topped with a zesty mint-lime glaze. Light, fluffy, and perfect for breakfast or brunch!

Is it doughnuts or donuts? Let’s debate! Just kidding.

But I have a question. Ever run to the kitchen so enthusiastically to make something and then end up forgetting an ingredient, a step … or three?!  I’m not gonna say who or what, but don’t forget the baking powder and grease your baking pans, people! Otherwise, you run the risk of ending up with a crumbly, sticky doughnut—errrrr cake.

Also, if you’re going to bake with alcohol and do a shot at the same time – just to see if it’s any good – keep on with it. The minutes will get better and better. 😀

Soooo, who is going to a Father’s Day Party? Or BBQ? What are you bringing? How about some doughnuts? Or a Raspberry & Lime Soda Lemonade? Oh oh … how about an Orzo Salad with Pears and Gorgonzola?!?

Tell you what. I’ll share all three recipes with you this week, and you can pick one of those to bring to the party. Or bring all three. You’ll be popular.

I whipped up these mojito doughnuts for my husband and my dad. They Love Mojitos. And Soccer. If Real Madrid wins, my dad makes the Mojitos. If Barca (Barcelona) wins, my husband makes the Mojitos. The day I made these doughnuts, Real Madrid lost. To heal my husband’s wound, I made him boozy doughnuts.

He was healed. That’s the power of food.

Instructions 

• Prep. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray.
• Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Warm the milk and melt the butter. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, rum, egg, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the butter melts, about one to two minutes.
• Add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Remove from the heat and add the milk mixture to the flour mixture; mix until combined.
• Transfer the batter to the doughnut pan. Using a large tablespoon, spoon the batter mixture into the pan.
• Bake. Pop the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean.
• Cool. Remove the donuts from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack.
• Make the glaze. While the doughnuts are cooling, begin to work on the glaze. Place the milk, lime juice, and powdered sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until combined and no lumps appear.
• Dip the doughnuts. Remove the glaze from the heat and set the saucepan over a bowl of hot water to keep it warm. Stir in the dried mint. Dip each doughnut into the glaze, one at a time, and place it glaze-side up on a wire rack. Set a plate or wax paper underneath the rack to catch any drips.
• Serve.
