What kind of pan to use for baked donuts

You will want to use a non-stick pan with donut shaped indentations. We absolutely love this donut pan. It is made by Wilton and just fabulous.

Sour cream is the secret ingredient for making baked donuts moist and delicious. We also use almond milk and coconut oil in this baked lemon donut recipe as well.
