Delectable Doughnuts

For the past couple of weeks, I have had a major craving for doughnuts. Now, that's not really out of the ordinary for me, I'll admit... but now that I'm pregnant, I definitely took advantage of the situation. I haven't had any crazy pregnancy cravings hit me just yet, like pickles and ice cream, but once I crave a particular thing, I can't get it out of my head.

So bright and early Saturday morning, I pulled Chris out of bed to run a few errands and pick up some doughnuts. We bought a dozen assorted to share with his family. I ended up eating ooooh... half of that dozen? Not in one setting, but eating seven doughnuts over the course of a weekend is not exactly recommended in the pregnancy books.

Just in case that craving hits again, I thought I would look up a few recipes for homemade baked doughnuts. There are surprisingly quite a few recipes out there, and the only special tool you need is a doughnut pan (also available in mini and heart-shaped!)

Chocolate with Blood Orange Glaze | Double Vanilla | Cinnamon Crumb

Double Chocolate Coconut | Lemon Balm with Blueberry Glaze | Almond Flour Cinnamon Roll

Although I'm sure these treats still ring in around 150-200 calories each, they're probably a much better alternative than their fried siblings. Good for new years resolutions, good for pregnant ladies. You are very welcome.
