Do you miss donuts?
Better question may be have you had donuts since going gluten-free? I may have tried some but obviously they didn’t stand out because I can’t remember eating them, although I am certain I have. They must not have been something I’d eat twice. Ya know that’s my gold standard….
Would You Eat It Twice? That is THE question that always has to be answered when I try a new food.
To answer my own question I do miss donuts but no I haven’t really been eating them since I went gluten-free. Until now and yes I would eat them twice over and over and over again.
Let’s be clear I don’t think I am a patsy, if I don’t like something I will tell you or maybe I just won’t tell you about it at all. There have been times I have tried to create a new recipe and it’s been a total and utter FAIL. I have not told you about those times, I’ve thought about it but heck I like to think I create the perfect recipe every time. hahahaha AHEM alright back to donuts….
If I receive a product to review would you trust me to give you an honest review? You should. Truth in food is rather important to me, gluten-free is expensive enough and why waste our money on products we don’t enjoy. You all know I enjoy Luna gluten-free protein bars but if you check out the review you can see how I feel about some other bars and I don’t think I sugar-coat my reviews.
Back to donuts!!!
I haven’t been eating gluten-free donuts, really it’s been over 2 years since I even tried a gluten-free donut and I can’t remember what brand it was but I didn’t enjoy it. I think worse yet is that I haven’t tried any donuts since then because I didn’t want to waste my money. If I’m going to spend the money on a gluten-free dessert/snack type product I want to know I’m not wasting my money. I hate buying something with high expectations and then being disappointed and I’ve acquired the why bother attitude towards many of these foods. That really isn’t such a great attitude to have as there are many really good gluten-free foods out there.
I have found a donut I can remember and I will eat it again.
Kinnikinnick has a gluten-free pumpkin spice donut and it rocked my donut world. But it is only available for a limited time – really limited - November 30th!
Here we go; this donut transported me back to Michigan at the orchard eating fresh, warm cider donuts with a cup of hot apple cider. 15 seconds in the microwave and I could’ve swore I was eating a freshly made donut. I tried this donut out on gluten eaters and those that are gluten-free, everyone wanted to eat more of them. Fine I was handing out small bites to sample because I didn’t want to share. No really.
There is frosting on the donuts that I personally can live without but that’s because I am not as much of a sweet eater as I used to be, no one else seemed to think that way about the frosting though. An all around good donut, heck they are really good and I will be eating them again. I should say the donuts have just enough – just enough spice, just enough tenderness, just enough flavor, just enough of everything I want a pumpkin spice donut to have. I prefer them warmed slightly in the microwave, it softens them a bit and honestly it’s like eating a freshly made donut.
You should head on over to Kinnikinnick to try them out, after all they are in limited supply.
~Enjoy~
