Top 5… Doughnuts! (It’s National Doughnut Week!)

Doughnuts, are pretty special – right? Gloriously deep fried, golden sugary deliciousness. They are so good, there is a national week to celebrate them in all their glory! That week, is THIS week! 9th-16th May 2015.

So, although not recommended as a daily snack of course, as a worthy treat or dessert – why not get stuck into making some the below??

Healthier Doughnuts

So, doughnuts don’t have the greatest reputation in the health stakes, and possibly rightly so – but then why not have your cake, I mean doughnut, and be able to eat it – with these gloriously healthier versions over at ‘Greatist’. Yummy, AND alot of options it seems to downsize the calories…

Doughnut cake

However, if you are of the opinion that if you are going to have a calorifically delicious treat, why not enjoy the 100% full fat version – you could go the other way – make this completely decadent, amazing doughnut CAKE! Yes, that is a cake, constructed from doughnuts… Why haven’t I thought of this before?!?

Wedding Doughnuts

If you are getting married, and love doughnuts – why not have Bride and Groom doughnuts on top of a doughnut tower instead of the traditional sponge? I am sure guests would love something that little bit different! I wouldn’t be complaining anyhow…!

Blackberry and custard doughnhuts

These, are just awesome doughnuts. Simple as that! A great easy to follow recipe, delicious filling…Get stuck in!

‘Doughnut’ Cookies

And, if you don’t actually like doughnuts – well, firstly, why not? Secondly – not sure why you are reading this post… but there is an option – why not give these ‘doughnut’ cookies a go!

In the words of Homer Simpson “This donut has purple in the middle, purple is a fruit” not sure he is 100% accurate there, but all in moderation of course, including moderation.

Enjoy!
