Pineapple Upside-Down Donuts

I've been a member of the Taste of Home Community for over 13 years.  One of the fun posts there is a weekly challenge where an ingredient is given and you are supposed to try a new recipe using it.   This week's ingredient is pineapple.   I'd pinned this recipe a little while back and the challenge was the perfect reason to bake it up today.

I doubled the batter ingredients from the original recipe, I wanted to make sure I had enough to make some mini donuts too.     

Thank you so much Ashley at Baker By Nature for this fun recipe!

                       Pineapple Upside-Down Donuts


  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        For the batter:
2                cups  + 4 tablespoons flour
     1           cup  light brown sugar -- packed
     1      teaspoon  salt
  2           teaspoon  baking powder
     1      teaspoon  cinnamon
     1/2           cup  milk
     1/2 cup  pineapple juice ( I bought pineapple in 100% juice and reserved it after I drained the fruit)
  2           teaspoon  vanilla extract
  5    tablespoons  unsalted butter -- melted
 2              large  egg -- at room temperature
                        For the pineapples:
  6             slices  pineapple -- from a can, patted dry, sliced in half (see note below)
additional light brown sugar for sprinkling in donut pans

Heat oven to 350º.  

Whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.   Melt butter in a glass bowl, let cool.   Add milk, pineapple juice, vanilla and eggs.     Combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture, but don't over mix.  Spoon into a piping bag or ziploc.


Pat dry the pineapple rings. Slice each ring in half to make two.   Spray or grease the donut pans well.   Crumble about 1t of brown sugar into each spot.   Lay pineapple in.    Fill each with batter to about 3/4 full.    Bake for 10 to 12 mins or until they test done.    Let cool in pan for a minute.   Place wire rack onto the pan and invert.   Tap slightly on the bottom if needed.

*for minis-  spray or grease pan, sprinkle in brown sugar.   Break up pineapple into small chunks and put 3 or 4 pieces in each spot.   Pipe in batter.   Bake for 5 to 8 mins or until they test clean.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Double Layer Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Back in the day I used to bake from home for extra money.  This was one of the most popular items.  Cake mix sizes have changed and if you're using the 15.75 ounce ones bake them in 8" pans. If you want to use the 9" rounds, you can also use this cake mix upsizer to make up the difference between the old and new cake mix sizes.  If the layers are too thin, you'll never be able to flip and stack them without a mess. Be sure to keep track of which pan has the pineapple rings and cherries in it and which doesn't so that you can easily turn them out onto the plate in the right order.    Double Layer Pineapple Upside Down Cake Print With Image Without Image Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal Ingredients 10 ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained 1/2 stick butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 8 ounce can pineapple slices 8 ounce can crushed pineapple with juice 1 package yellow cake mix (15.75 ounces) Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
