These 👆🏽butternut squash donut holes covered in a coconut glaze, beyond happened this week.
I’m on a butternut squash coconut glaze collaboration kick. First, it was this butternut squash cake with a coconut buttercream frosting. and now these doughnut holes.
I say we finish the week the same way we began it, on a sweet note with an autumn- harvest glow.
Since today is Friday and were hours away from the weekend, let’s do this quickly.
- Heat up the oil over medium heat.
- Mix your ingredients.
- Drop doughnut batter into the hot oil.
- Drain doughnuts on a paper towel.
- Prepare the coconut glaze.
- Pour the glaze over the doughnut holes.
Just. Like. That.
Perfect.
My presumption is, you’ll eat more than six of these doughnut holes just to determine what autumn tastes like.
Eat up.
p.s Don’t forget your glass of coconut milk. 👌🏽
