Is it OK to sometimes eat baked goods if I don't eat burgers at all?

You can eat both. Weight loss is caused by being in a calorie deficit. You can work burgers and baked goods into your calories if you wanted.12

Sure, if you can fit it into your calorie deficit. For some having things like baked goods sometimes prevents them from overeating them as a result of feeling overly restricted.4 -
You can include anything in your eating sometimes, as long as it isn't poison, and you aren't allergic to it (or some other medical restriction applies).
It's a positive thing to get good overall nutrition the majority of days, and it's important to manage calories on an overall average basis to reach/maintain a healthy weight. But that leaves room for either eating less nutrient-dense foods somewhat often in controlled portions (within calorie goal) once most required nutrients are covered for the day, or for eating them on the occasional day at the expense of perfect nutrition.
Good nutrition isn't really a matter of eating "good" and avoiding "bad" foods, but rather of balancing a variety of foods to piece together the nutritional building blocks we need, overall; and bodyweight is pretty much all about managing balance of calories vs. activity level.13 -
I'm just trying to figure out the correlation between baked goods and burgers.20

Me too... is there a rule that you is only allowed to have one of these delicious things in life? I need both!
OP as mentioned, you can eat anything you want to, just keep an eye on calories as the only thing you need for weight loss is a calorie deficit.5 -
Why do you think you can't you have burgers (or anything else) while losing weight?

Maybe fitting a burger and a donut would be difficult to manage and stay within calories if it were on the same day. Having a burger one day and a donut on another .... now that is doable. Besides nothing like a homemade burger with a salad on the side.7 -

Not at all difficult for me, not that I actually like donuts though. And of course the size of the burgers and donuts or baked goods (or whatever) makes a big difference to whether it would be difficult for the OP.
But I'd really like an answer from the OP as the question is a very odd one and probably indicative of a much bigger knowledge or mindset issue than simply baked goods or burgers.4 -
In Dutch bakken (to bake) also refers to pan frying. Thus if you cook a burger in a pan it would be a baked good
Actually, half my freezer is currently full of bread thingies. It's da heavy!

I blame this thread for the fact that I really really want pie now. Or cake. Or pie and cake.5

Maybe just don't have this:

Yes, I often have a home made 4 oz burger, large salad, and some tortilla chips this time of year. This fills me up and has the macros I want.3 -

@sijomial are you subtly bragging about your calorie allowance again?4 -

Just a little nudge against the dieting culture of eating tiny amounts of "diet foods" to lose weight.
Yes some people do need a small calorie allowance. But too many people unthinkingly choose that option when it's inappropriate and make the process harder and less likely to be successful long term.
Pick lowest activity level, fastest rate of loss, don't take exercise into account.....
Also moderation of portion sizes is an option instead of exclusion which might be of help to the OP.
From the database (I haven't checked the accuracy):
A burger on it's own 221cals and a mini donut (both Sainsburys) 51cals which should be easy for anyone to fit into their day.

I didn’t realise that you couldn’t eat baked goods and burgers on the same day. Do I go to diet prison now? But honestly, as long as you’re in your deficit go crazy. Eat what you want. Just be aware of nutrition if you eat them a lot so you stay healthy.2

“A mini donut”???
I’m sorry, what’s the point of eating a mini one?? Give me a full on huge jammy one, or one with chocolate icing and day 🤤🤤
