Last pregnancy donuts were my pregnancy craving. I guess I should say, pregnant or not donuts are just good every now and then, am I right? Now I’m not completely set on this recipe. I think it could use a little bit of work as they were too dense or dry or something for my taste. But Payton and Ava thought they were spectacular.
Donuts to me are fluffy so I need to figure out how to add the fluff to this recipe. I think it may come in using the combination of almond and coconut flour. We will work on it. And please let me know if you come up with a good, fluffy, grain-free recipe. I really need a good donut in my life!
