It’s been awhile since I posted, and since then, my family and I have moved into a beautiful new home. I will post some photos in a week or two once I finish up the kitchen decor! I actually won a backsplash from Smart Tiles and I’m waiting impatiently for it to arrive. What a nice housewarming gift! 😀
I was burning a maple scented candle today and its lovely aroma inspired this donut recipe, which came out AMAZING on the first try.
You’ll need a donut pan to make these, and I recommend THIS ONE.
Enjoy!
EDIT: This recipe originally contained tapioca flour, but it has since been removed and replaced with lower carb options that will still pack a great texture and flavor.
