I have come across a dilemma. I am a sucker for sweets, but I also really like nutrition and staying in control of what I put in my body. So, now, I am on a quest to find some delicious, 'healthified,' recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth.
One major thing I like to tweak when brewing up a 'healthified' desert is the sugar content. I try not to add any if possible! (if the taste buds agree). Sugar, a main ingredient in all mainstream sweets, and even worse, high fructose corn syrup, acts negatively in the body. It all has to do with insulin and blood sugar- I will get more scientific about this in a future post.
I'm going to try not to be long winded here and get right into the donut recipe. Arron and I have made these together, and both give them a thumbs up! They are almost as fun to make and decorate as they are delicious. We tried to make them as unhealthy looking as possible so it would feel like we are eating a real donut (mind tricks work sometimes).

The recipe...
The yield is approx. 6 donuts each with the following estimated macros:
Not so bad for a tasty treat!
I should mention that these pans are very hard to find anywhere in stores, so I recommend ordering it online if you want one:
Are you drooling yet??
