Doughnut Waffles with Maple Glaze

I have seen tons of recipes for doughnuts using a doughnut pan, some recipes for doughnuts that are fried and a handful of baked doughnut recipes using a mini muffin pan. However, I have never seen a doughnut baked in a waffle maker, until now.

This recipe not only intrigued me because it is a doughnut baked in a waffle maker, but because of the maple glaze. My husband is a huge fan of maple cream and the glaze seemed similar, so I thought he would enjoy it.

These doughnut waffles were a huge hit with everyone and did not last long. Everyone kept on coming back for more.

Maple Glaze

1. Preheat the waffle iron.
2. In a medium bowl combine the sugar, baking soda and nutmeg.
3. Add in the egg, egg yolk, butter, vanilla and milk, stirring until smooth.
4. Add in the flour and stir just until combined (the batter will be thick).
5. Place 1 tablespoon of batter into the middle of each section of the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook until the doughnut waffles are golden brown.
6. Place the waffles on a cooling rack and repeat until all of the batter is gone.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar.
8. Place each doughnut waffle into the glaze, one at a time, and turn to coat.
9. Return the doughnut waffles to the cooling and let the glaze set.

Enjoy!!!
