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!

Oh gosh my husband would go NUTS for these! The cinnamon with the bacon sounds delicious!! And big congrats to David!
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. 🙂
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
These donuts look awesome for baby shower, Shashi. Love how you combined sweet + savory flavors. They look indeed perfect as a party snack!
I love the virtual baby shower idea! So sweet. These donuts look crazy good too. Obviously perfect for a party!
Shashi- You could NOT have made a more ‘Dave’ doughnut- Bacon too? This is amazing 🙂
Love this donut idea! I’ll take mine with extra bacon please 😉
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!
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. 🙂
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!
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!
Bacon is the best condiment of them all. I’m sure these tasted fantastic 🙂
What beautiful doughnuts. I have never had a doughnut with bacon in it! What a great recipe! I love the topping xx
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!
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!
OMG! Bacon in the doughnuts = genius! I’m loving the cinnamon too!
