There isn’t much out there that is better than deep-fried doughnuts, except these Vanilla and Cranberry Baked Doughnuts course. They’re baked, so you don’t need to worry about messing about with oil or about the high fat content.
Instead you get a sweet vanilla flavour with the tang of cranberries and yoghurt, served warm and fresh direct from your oven. Simple, delicious, a sure-fire winner.

1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
