If you’ve never baked in a toaster oven, I’m about to blow your mind with a recipe for chocolate dipped baked vanilla donuts – and a chance to win your very own Hamilton Beach toaster oven!

Baking in a toaster oven had never crossed my mind – I must have been living under a rock until Hamilton Beach kindly sent me their latest toaster oven and said to get creative! After some research and asking friends their experience, I decided to test out this little oven’s capabilities by baking a batch of these Chocolate-Dipped Vanilla Baked Donuts, and boy did this toaster oven exceeded my expectations!

The product features in this 4 Slice Easy Reach toaster oven include:

• Unique roll-top door.
• Easy access to food.
• Easy access to countertop.
• Easy to keep clean—food can’t spill on door.
• Fits 4 slices or a 9” pizza.
• Bake, broil and toast functions.
• Removable door for easy cleanup.
• 30 minute timer with automatic shutoff or optional stay on.
• Includes bake pan and rack with 2 positions.
• Front-access crumb tray slides out for easy cleanup.

I tell you, this appliance is a lifesaver now. I’m hoping to get the most use from it during the summer when I don’t want to be turning on my large oven and heating up the entire kitchen just to bake a personal pizza or a small batch of cookies.
