Glazed Orange Donuts

Are you ready for a spectacular new donut recipe? Glazed Orange Donuts are everything you want in a donut. Especially if you love oranges. These donuts have orange juice and orange zest in the donut as well as in the icing. They are absolutely mouthwatering. And as I’ve stated before, donuts are my favorite comfort food of choice. I could live on them.

Back in early December I got on a donut baking binge. I wasn’t able to do our full Christmas Cookie Extravaganza because we had a wedding and lots of company in November/December. I really wasn’t in the mood for making cookies after everyone left. But I really did want to try out my new donut pans and bake donuts.
