I was in the mood for donuts. But lets be honest, who isn’t in the mood for donuts? I decided to go with maple pumpkin. The perfect flavor combination for fall.
Mmmm a moist pumpkin donut topped with a maple pancake pumpkin frosting. Of course using my favorite coconut butter from Sweetspreads. I probably overdose on this stuff. Be careful when you get it, it is pretty addicting.
I think I might just start to live off of donuts. I mean a cyclist can live off donuts right? At least they are healthy donuts. But you wouldn’t think these are healthy by the look and taste of them.
I think I will be remaking these again very soon. Maybe even for Thanksgiving? Usually healthy is rejected at Thanksgiving, but I guess I could just not mention anything about the healthy part.
