Baked Sweet Potato Donuts

These Baked Sweet Potato Donuts take leftover sweet potatoes and turn them into something deliciously fantastic. These baked donuts are light and soft – like sweet potato spice cake. They’re topped with a brown butter maple glaze that is just plain amazing.
One note – you’ll want to use plain mashed sweet potatoes. So, plan to make a little extra or set some aside when you make sweet potato casserole.
