Treat Tuesday: Cherry Chocolate Whole Grain Donuts


*Adapted from here

I donut know about you guys (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?), but we totally celebrated National Donut Day with some homemade, and way healthier baked donuts! I ate two, Brian ate 3, and Bowie grabbed one off the counter and shamefully enjoyed his with his head under our couch. Bad dog.

  • 3/4 cup non fat milk
  • 1/2 cup Eggbeaters egg substitute

  1. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND MAKES ME WANT TO DIE BUT IT ALSO MAKES ME CONTEMPLATE MY LOVE FOR DONUTS.

    my favorite way to make donuts is the way i make them at camp--with biscuit dough! :D SO EASY, fluffy, and you can spread whatever on them you like.
