Double Maple Bacon Donuts

Donuts infused with maple, parmesan cheese, and real bacon bits, topped with a maple frosting and real bacon pieces.

Are these donuts too much? You may be asking…I say no! I had the inspiration to make a donut like this when visiting Florida this Spring Break. We went to Maple Street Biscuit Company for the first time. If you’ve been there, you’ve probably heard of their “Squaking Goat” biscuit. A great biscuit, fried chicken, goat cheese, and a mango habanero sauce drenching the biscuit. We ordered one, and it was amazing.

We also ordered the chicken and waffles and they were even more incredible! Their waffle has bacon and asiago cheese baked into it, so it provides just enough savor to balance out the sweetness of their waffle. This meal made me think, “What if I make a maple bacon donut that has maple, bacon, and some savor from cheese, AND a maple frosting with bacon topping?”. I tried it, and it did not disappoint!

Hope you enjoy!
