There is nothing healthy or nutritious about donuts, but every summer my daughter’s camp has Donut Day so I make gluten free donuts. Last year, my daughter couldn’t have yeast, so I used a Miss Roben’s Donut Mix I found on allergygrocer.com.
This year, I am making a homemade donut recipe I found on looksgoodinpolkadots, an great blog about mothering, gluten free cooking and being green. I used a wide tumbler to cut the outside of the donuts and a shot glass to cut the donut hole. Making donuts from scratch makes donut day very memorable–if we weren’t gluten free I wouldn’t ever remember Donut Day, but now I will remember it fondly as a summer tradition. It’s inconvenient to be gluten free, but for me, it also makes everything more special.
looksgoodinpolkadots - The powder sugar sprinkles makes them look lovely! The kids keep asking me to make them again… but it is definitely one of those special treat things! I remember making donuts with my Mom growing up… these are the memories I also want my children to have!
Cheers!
