Frosted Sprinkle Donuts

Leave a Comment / Breakfast / By

Growing up I can remember headed to the donut shop on Saturday mornings with my Dad. Stepping into the shop with a glass case staring back at me of frosting, sprinkles, and a glistening glaze was every young Childs dream. Having to choose was always the hardest choice! Having a child with ADHD, I do my best to recreate the nostalgia even with some dietary limitations!

This weekend I took on the task of making donuts for the family that were healthier on the gut than a donut you might find at the store by using Einkorn flour. As someone with a gluten sensitivity, I was really hoping this flour would allow me to partake in the fun of a donut Saturday! Unfortunately for me, it didn’t. However, some people with gluten sensitivity have no issues digesting Einkorn flour! Do not try with celiac disease!

I also chose to use sprinkles that a naturally colored rather than artificial coloring. For one of my children I don’t notice a large difference in their behaviors and body when eating artificial dye, but with my child with ADHD I do.

These couple of alternatives made Saturday Donuts friendly for all of us! And super enjoyable!
