Have you given up on your New Year’s resolutions yet? Let us help you get there a little quicker by making some cheater donuts. This way you can enjoy the crispy fried taste without the risk of being caught in a donut shop by your friends that you made the resolution with. These are called cheaters because you don’t even have to make the dough — canned biscuit dough is all you need. And because, like we said, you can cheat on your resolution and no one has to know.

Learn how to make Cheater Dounts after the jump.
