Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Donuts. To quote my husband, “I could eat this entire plate right now.” Yeah, these are that good!
They are guilt free because they are made with wholesome ingredients. So feel free to have a few.
Before we embarked on this unprocessed lifestyle, we used to get donuts from Starbucks every Saturday morning. I think my daughter and husband have missed them the most.
So this was my way of trying to offer them a healthier option. These are baked and made with whole grains and no processed sugars.
I think this picture says it all, doesn’t it? She could not shovel them in her mouth fast enough. Haha.
