Who needs store-bought donuts when you can make your own in under 15 minutes using only healthy ingredients?
Donuts have a bad stigma around them.
- Unhealthy
- Always involves a nasty sugar crash
- Leaves you feeling lethargic and crummy
- Really hard to make
I use to be a donuts hater! Seriously, those little bites of fluffy goodness intimidated the heck out of me. The stigma around food can be enough to talk you out of enjoying the little things in life.
Well, NOT ANYMORE! I’m determined to create healthier versions of sweet treats. I’m a firm believer that no treat should have a bad wrap. Starting with these donuts!
NO Refined Sugar
NO Gluten
NO Dairy
NO Eggs
NO GUILT….BECAUSE THERE NEVER SHOULD BE! Do yourself a favor and release any guilt associated with food. Food is meant to nourish not only our physical needs but our mental needs as well. Essentially, chocolate is good for the soul mmk? Don’t deprive yourself of the good stuff.
