Yes, I finally jumped on the baked donut band wagon.
I asked for the donuts pans for my birthday which was a little over 2 months ago. I was so excited to start baking my own donuts but because of the weight loss challenge and trying to form better eating habits I decided that I’d hold off for a few months.
Eating just one is such a challenge, I’ll have three 
Then I realized making my own donuts would be a lot healthier than most dessert I allow myself to eat now.
Gluten free sprinkles!
I have been saving Mandiee’s vegan donut recipe this whole time! I made the donuts out of Bob’s Red Mill GF flour (plus a tablespoon of oat flour). When you think about it, this donuts aren’t really all that bad health-wise. Flour made out of grains and beans, lower sugar, and healthier topping options such as a melted dark chocolate bar.
My favorite part was frosting them
After I made these I left them out on a plate for my family to enjoy. Forgetting that my brother hates dark chocolate, I offer him one. He immediately spit it out and washed his mouth out, rude! Maybe next time I make them for other people I’ll add a little agave to sweeten them up?
So spongy and fluffy!
He did like the vanilla icing I made out of vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and hot water.
i think a donut pan would be dangerous for me! i like cookies more anyways
Ahh I’m so excited you tried my donut recipe! This seriously made my day
. I’m sorry your brother didn’t like the chocolate, though. Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone wouldn’t like chocolate, haha. And I’ve tried the recipe with lots of different flours, too. Next I want to try a GF vegan donut made with oat flour & buckwheat flour. I’ll keep you posted! (BTW agave sounds lovely. Made even some maple syrup for a pancake/donut fusion? YUM!)
Ohh yum. I am so in love with your recipe! Thank you so much! I am having so much fun with them!
Ahhh I want a donut pan SO bad!! I saw one at the store today, but it was to expensive.
Definitely going on the Christmas list!
<3 <3
I think mine was only $7 check online at bed bath and beyond!
Yeah I find it difficult to get my family to like my “healthy” baked goods. I’ve given up and just bake them for myself, keep leftovers in the freezer!!
Mine don’t make it to the freezer! I try though.
They were delicious. And beautiful.
I don’t have a donut pan, but now I want one. It seems like donuts have been popping up all over the blogosphere lately. Can’t say I mind this trend.
I can’t believe your brother doesn’t like dark chocolate. So sad!
These look so good! I used to have a donut pan, but must have gotten rid of it when I moved a while back because I can’t find it anywhere. So sad.
Oh no! Sad.
I LOVE MY DONUT PAN!!! It’s way more fun than making muffins. Yours look so pretty, I’m definitely going to have to check out that recipe!
I seriously can’t wait to make again! So much fun. I want to try pumpkin and cinnamon sugar!
Yes! I have a donut pan! I need to get one or two more though, because I always have more batter than what one pan will hold and I’m too impatient to bake them one at a time…
I like to use it to make muffins as well.
What??? Muffins? How do you do that?
i’m actually proud of myself for not owning a donut pan. you see, i constantly impulse buy kitchen supplies (my retain therapy involves williams & sonoma, not macy’s!). but i’ve resisted purchasing the donut pan because i know i won’t use it enough to justify the price & shelf space!
you had me at donuts!
I’ll be sure to check out your blog again in the future if you keep posting stuff like this. Thanks for the good read!
