Cinnamon Bacon Doughnuts
Slightly sweet, slightly savory, hugely tasty, these baked Cinnamon Bacon Doughnuts also happen to be gluten-free and are perfect for breakfast or even a party snack!
Today happens to be a pretty special day!
Today, we are having a party! A surprise-virtual party which I am so stinking excited to be a part of!
Today, Chris @ Shared Appetite rallied 21 of us bloggers together to throw a surprise virtual manly baby shower for a fellow food blogger, my dear friend, and mentor, and member of the dude-food-blogger “wolfpack” – David @ Spiced! David and his wife, Laura are expecting their first baby in November, and well – SURPRISE Mr. & Mrs. Spiced!!!
So, for this party I decided to show up baring these Cinnamon Bacon Doughnuts.
These baked, gluten free, doughnuts were inspired by the powdered sugar doughnuts David posted earlier this year. I had given up making doughnuts till I stumbled on his recipe and – the cliche is true – the rest was history! Now doughnuts are a part of our monthly weekend ritual!
One weekend, I made some cinnamon doughnuts which my daughter and I decided to have with a side of bacon when my daughter suggested I should just bake the cinnamon doughnuts with the bacon inside them.
This is what leads to these, slightly sweet, slightly savory, hugely tasty, Cinnamon Bacon Doughnuts with a cinnamon drizzle and bacon crumbles!
Congrats David and Laura – all the cliches out there about babies are true – the joy that little Spiced is going to bring to y’alls home is indescribable! Wishing you both a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. I am so excited for you all and cannot wait to meet Baby Spiced!
And, Chris @ Shared Appetite – thanks so very much for rallying us together and hosting this fabulous virtual-baby shower for David!

Sweet & Savory.. I”m all over it! These look yummy 🙂
Yummy donuts and such a wonderful occasion. Amazing!!!
These donuts sound like perfection!!! I love the bacon in them, especially with the cinnamon flavor. Yum!
Cinnamon and bacon in doughnut form? Count me in!
I’m so glad you didn’t ruin these bad boys with beets 😉
Well slap me across the face and call me Sally Jo…..
Yummmm!!!! I love the combination of sweet and salty, so bacon and donuts sounds like the perfect match Shashi! Great recipe!
awwww yeah! Perfect come of sweet and salty! Pinned!
wow..bacon in sweet donuts…must be really amazing with this combo of flavour, Shashi.
I love how you come up with these sinfully delicious sounding treats and just casually throw in there…it’s gluten free…and semi-healthy. You’re the best!! These donuts are definitely no exception! I wouldn’t mind waking up to these tomorrow!
These donuts look ridiculously delicious! I mean bacon AND cinnamon in donuts – YES! But these are also baked AND gluten free? OMG, I could eat these daily!! Such a fantastic way to celebrate David and Laura! Pinned! Cheers, lovely!
Gah, bacon and doughnuts are meant to be together. Food soul mates. These look amazing!
These look amazing Shashi! Yes to all things cinnamon!
Wait, bacon IN the doughnuts AND on top?? You’ve got me there. I need these doughnuts to magically appear in my kitchen. Lil Shashi totally knows what she is doing. Thank you so much for this post, Shashi. You really did surprise me, and I am totally humbled and amazed by all of these posts. You made my week…for real! 🙂
These are so fun Shashi! What a fun surprise! Plus, bacon and doughnuts ;D
OMG! Bacon in the doughnuts = genius! I’m loving the cinnamon too!
Oh Shashi, these doughnuts are the perfect treat for David’s shower! Love the bacon inside and crumbled on top! So fun and absolutely irresistible!
I’m not sure words can express all that is glorious about these doughnuts. Your daughter is one smart young lady to encourage you to just go for it and add the bacon to the doughnut batter. That was an epic idea!
What beautiful doughnuts. I have never had a doughnut with bacon in it! What a great recipe! I love the topping xx
Bacon is the best condiment of them all. I’m sure these tasted fantastic 🙂
What a way to welcome a new baby. I suspect I’m too old to start over but looking at these doughnuts… Might be easier to bake my own. 🙂 Congratulations to the new parents!
Congratulations to mom and dad!These donuts sound stellar! I know my boys would be all over them, my goodness they contain one of the major teenager food groups…bacon. Just pinned!
Congrats to David and his wife! And yum….these donuts sound absolutely wonderful. Bacon makes everything tastes better. It’s kind of a family motto around here, ever since my father in law put bacon in every recipe at Thanksgiving one year. My oldest son thought that was the best thing ever, and it pretty much was. 🙂
These are perfect guy food, but I’m sure quite a few ladies would go for them, too! Lucky David. He gets a cute baby and awesome donuts! I loved all the posts for him. Blogger friends are the best!
Love this donut idea! I’ll take mine with extra bacon please 😉
Shashi- You could NOT have made a more ‘Dave’ doughnut- Bacon too? This is amazing 🙂
I love the virtual baby shower idea! So sweet. These donuts look crazy good too. Obviously perfect for a party!
These donuts look awesome for baby shower, Shashi. Love how you combined sweet + savory flavors. They look indeed perfect as a party snack!
Party party!! What says celebration more than bacon, my friend? Big congrats to Dave and Laura on their bundle of joy, and I’m so glad I dropped in on the party! These glazed doughnuts have me drooling a thousand miles away…have a fabulous day!!! xo
Such a nice thing to do! And such a terrific dish you’ve brought to the party — who can resist doughnuts? And your daughter is a genius — adding the bacon to the doughnuts? Yes. Please. 🙂
Oh gosh my husband would go NUTS for these! The cinnamon with the bacon sounds delicious!! And big congrats to David!
Seriously!? This sounds and looks delicious!!!
Wow! I agree! These are huge on taste! Cinnamon Bacon Doughnuts with a cinnamon drizzle and bacon crumbles is my kinda treat, my friend!
Awww congrats to David and Laura!!! I love his blog! What a great idea for a baby shower!!
I’ve been contemplating buying a doughnut pan and this post sold me! These donuts are so perfect for fall!
Sweet and Savory!! Bacon… oh heck yes! Yum!
Oh my goodness! These bad guys look and sound fabulous, Shashi! What should I make to have you send some of them, ha-ha? Well done!
Great flavors, these donuts are gorgeous! Congrats to David and his wife!
OMG! These sound insanely good!
Oh my goodness these look delicious!!! I need to have bacon on a donut ASAP. Congrats to David and his wife on their new addition. So sweet of y’all to have a little virtual shower!
Hi,
I’m a long-time baker, but new to gluten-free baking. I know the general Bob’s Red Mill GF Flour does not have xanthan gum in it, but their 1:1baking mix does. I’m assuming you are using the regular flour here, and no xanthan bum is required. Thanks! Can’t wait to try these!!!!
Laurie
Methinks this one is a re-post and am I glad you did as I missed it first round! Can you imagine a year has gone by already? Who could resist these? Not me and the cinnamon bacon combo sounds delicious!
Those donuts looks so delicious …..
