key lime doughnuts
Well, it happened.
I officially have a new favorite doughnut.
I didn’t think this was possible, you see. For years, my heart and my taste buds were torn between the chocolate glazed cake doughnut and the strawberry-frosted yeast doughnut (with sprinkles, of course). Sometimes, even the Boston cream doughnut would wedge itself in there, as well. And then there was the time I made doughnuts with peaches and coconut and white chocolate and I thought, for surely, there can be no tastier doughnut.
And then I made these key lime doughnuts. Life = changed forever.
Of course, this isn’t bad news by any means: especially because these doughnuts take less than a half-hour to make. And if you head over to the lovely Meagan’s blog, A Zesty Bite, where I’m guest posting about these doughnuts, you’ll be able to see for yourself just why, exactly, you need to have them in your life ASAP. Just be prepared to oust whatever doughnut currently wins your heart. Sorry I’m not sorry, strawberry doughnut.
These doughnuts look absolutely fantastic! I’m loving the key lime, and I bet they taste fresh!
Wowww. There goes my diet… I’ll even excuse it as being healthy because there is fruit involved.
What a great idea for doughnuts! I love the fresh, crisp taste of key lime – and there’s nothing like a warm doughnut!
These are stunners!
Jessica — Thanks, dear! They taste so fresh; I love it.
Tia — Oh yes, total health food. 😉
Robyn — Thanks! Key lime pie is one of my favorite desserts so making doughnuts with the same flavor was necessary. 🙂
Kathryn — Thanks, dear!
I always enjoyed the glazes over the chocolate and your zesty key lime donuts look and sound marvelous. I’m also amazed that they don’t take much time at all – I always had it in my head that donuts were a couple-hour long project! So intrigued!
Marry me?
I am mildly obsessed with key lime ANYTHING. Oh and doughnut ANYTHING. So I think you can guess who I feel about these…

I wouldn’t be sorry about those strawberry donuts either – this is its new competition and i’m pretty sure it’s winning by a landslide! I LOVE key lime flavored desserts and this just looks amazing!!
Julie — Ha! Thanks, girl 🙂
Shut the front door! Guuuurrrrlll these sound amazing! I need to sink my teeth in one {or seven} of these doughnuts! LOVE THE KEY LIME!
I’ve always considered limes to be my favorite citrus treat, especially in desserts. so key lime doughnuts would certainly win my heart over most all other flavors!
Laurie — Why thank you, my dear! I wish I could mail seven of them to you! 🙂
Joanne — I agree; I love the way lime works in sweet treats. I think you’d love these! 🙂
My favorite donuts are the Boston cream pie ones but since you think these are the best I have no other choice than to give them a try.
Thanks for sharing and thank you for the lovely comment left on my guest post (Meyer Lemon Tart) left on Sommer’s (A Spicy Perspective) blog
Roxana — Of course! That tart looks absolutely stunning 🙂 And you should definitely give these doughnuts a try… I can’t promise they’ll beat out your love of Boston cream but they may come pretty close!
i love key lime and i love doughnuts, perfect combo!
Dina — Thank you!
I am fairly certain that I need to invest in a donut pan! 😉
What beautiful donuts! Key lime lovelies!
Hannah — I am fairly certain you definitely do! You won’t be sorry 🙂
Meghan — Thank you, dear!
These look divine! Do you think this recipe would work in a doughnut maker, rather than baking in a doughnut pan?
Kimberley — Thank you! I honestly have no idea if this recipe would work for a doughnut maker, but I would at least give it a try!
