Caramel Cornbread Doughnuts with Chocolate Chips
I recently learned that cornmeal is an excellent source of Iron, so I made some doughnuts with it. {yeah... true story. haha} The original idea was to make some good ol' cornbread, cut it into squares and top with a bit of real butter and a dollop of wildflower honey. But I can't just leave well enough alone - so I added some brown sugar, caramel sauce and chocolate chips to the batter and poured it into my doughnut pan. Out of the oven popped one of my most favorite culinary creations! I introduce to you Caramel Cornbread Doughnuts with Chocolate Chips...
We ended up enjoying these sweeties for dessert and they were a HIT with the whole family! Mr. Hungry Harp was a bit hesitant about trying a sweet cornbread doughnut but wound up hooked after the first bite. He told me numerous times that they were really good and that he wanted to eat all of them. The kids kept asking for "one more", even after they were all gone. Don't you just love when everybody loves your cookin'??
I wasn't sure if these Caramel Cornbread Doughnuts with Chocolate Chips really needed to be drizzled with additional caramel so I did half with and half without. They tasted great both ways, I preferred the look of the caramel drizzle and added sweetness while Mr. Hungry Harp preferred no drizzle to help avoid getting sticky fingers. {he games on the computer so sticky fingers can't be happening y'all!}
