Did you know today is National Donut Day? Depending on where you live, you can score up to six free donuts today. None of the free donut locations are anywhere near me. I won’t be scoring any free donuts today, but donuts are still on my mind.

Have you noticed how donuts are so ‘in’ right now (cronuts are so 2013)? I feel like every time I log onto Pinterest I spot at least one yummy donut recipe. I never thought about making my own donuts before. But with all the delicious-looking recipes I’ve come across, I think it might be time to make some homemade baked donuts of my own.

I found 12 baked donut recipes that might be just a tiny bit healthier than your chain store variety. I’ve never tried making or eaten baked donuts before, so I’m excited to give some of these recipes a try.
