The Puddin Donut {Gourdough’s Copycat}

This post may contain affiliate sales links. Please read my disclosure policy.

I’ve got something fun and a little different for you today! Remember this post all about Gourdoughs? You know, that crazy doughnut place in Austin? Well a few bloggers and I decided to get together and recreate some of the doughnuts from their menu! Welcome to this blog hop 🙂

I picked The Puddin’ doughnut to make: basically, a banana pudding shoved into and on top of a doughnut.

Yes, this is as crazy good as you think it is. AND!! My husband who is a chocolate fanatic tried one and just about died! He loved it {which never ever happens unless it’s chocolate based} and even said “it’s probably one of the best doughnuts I’ve ever had”—->WINNER WINNER DOUGHNUT DINNER!

Except eat this for dinner. And then have these.

So, basically, I just made a basic doughnut dough from The Pioneer Woman, filled it with vanilla pudding {just made instant pudding from the box :)} topped it with lots of cream cheese frosting, bananas and then Nilla wafers! It was one heavy doughnut, but oh boy was it tasty!
