Samoa Donuts

Girl Scout donuts come and get your donuts!

Yum! The recipe I used for the base of these baked donuts was from Back for Seconds, they foods she makes always looks delicious and always work out the way there supposed too.  For the Samoa girl scout cookie like topping I came up with my own little recipe, or ooey gooey coconut caramel goodness.

Ingredients:

Donuts
*1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
*1/2 cup of brown sugar (packed)
*1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
*1/2 teaspoon baking soda
*1 dash of nutmeg
*1 dash of cinnamon
*3 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted)
*1/4 cup of milk
*2/3 cups of plain Greek yogurt
*1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Samoa Topping
*About 20 Kraft caramels
*Tablespoon of heavy cream
*About 1/2 cup of toasted coconut
*About 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (melted)

Directions:

Donuts
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a mixing bowl mix together the egg, milk, yogurt, butter, and vanilla
3. Add all the dry ingredients to that mixture; flour, baking soda, baking powder, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon
4. Make sure to grease donuts pan well, and fill the donut pan using a piping bag (this is easier then trying to fill the circles with a spoon
5. Bake for about 9 minutes
6. Let them cool before frosting or adding any sort of topping

Samoa Topping
1. Put all 20 caramels into pan unwrapped, and let them melt
2. Add the heavy cream and stir until caramel is melted
3. Put oven to 350 for the coconut, lay coconut out onto pan
4. Bake in oven until golden drown, about 5 minutes, maybe longer depending
