Pineapple Bacon Donuts Recipes

BACON WRAPPED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Wrap each chunk of pineapple with a piece of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Place in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, mayonnaise and chili sauce; pour over the bacon wrapped pineapple.
• Bake uncovered for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until bacon is crispy on the edges and the sauce is bubbly. Serve warm.

PINEAPPLE BACON DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use a biscuit cutter to cut the pineapple into 4 inch rounds with a 2 inch interior hole. On each pineapple ring, arrange an onion ring, and a 2-3 quarters of the cheese.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around the pineapple ring, trying not to overlap too much. Continue, using 2-3 pieces per ring. Lightly brush with BBQ sauce.
• Arrange the bacon donuts on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned. If bacon is full cooked but not brown, broil for 1-2 minutes.
• Serve with extra BBQ sauce.

PINEAPPLE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 2 donut pans with cooking spray; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine yellow cake mix, eggs, pineapple juice, coconut milk and vegetable oil until batter is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
• Spoon or pipe batter into prepared pan, filling only about 1/2 way up the sides. Use an offset spatula or spoon to spread evenly, then bake for 12 minutes until donut cakes are set. Let cool 5 minutes on a wire rack, then invert cakes on rack to cool completely.
• Melt the yellow and light cocoa candy melts according to instructions. Dip each donut into the melted yellow chocolate, dipping them deep enough to just fill the center. Remove and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let set completely.
• Transfer melted light cocoa candy melts to a small squeeze bottle or pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe crossing lines onto each donut, about 4 going in each direction. Top with pineapple top cutouts.
