On this blog I frequently share my thoughts on the balance between taste, health and the special occasion eats we all need to enjoy. If you want to know more of the formal "stuff" about me, this is a good place to start. After you've read the fine print, I'd love for you to connect with me beyond just the blog - click one of the "connect" buttons below or sign up for email.

whole wheat blueberry powdered donuts

If you're still wondering after my last post whether getting a donut pan is a good idea, what does this tell ya? 

 

 

These donuts are delish. Simply delish. 

They aren't a substitute exactly for a deep-fried, glazed donut-shop confection. But since I can't typically bring myself to opt for that type of eatery anyway, I'm liking these just fine. 

I used whole wheat pastry flour, which is unbelievably tender in baked goods... much more so than my usual white whole wheat. These are almost too tender and definitely muffin-like. I honestly believe you could take most any flavored muffin batter, bake in these pans, sugar or glaze them, call them a donut and everyone would still love you. 

And if they don't, you'd still have a dozen reasons to love yourself.
