I love doughnuts!

So come on my posse, how do I satisfy my craving for doughnuts? Anyone out there found a low-carb version of a doughnut?

I never had them often, but now I can't.....
 
I rather think that any low carb doughnut would be rather sad. To borrow a phrase from the late great DNA you would end up with a substance that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a doughnut.

To be honest the best substitute for a doughnut is probably a doughnut. OK, diabetics are never going to be able to eat many, but if your BG control is generally tight you should be able to build an occasional one in as a treat (especially if you eat it shortly before you know that you will be exercising). It is probably better to do that than make them "forbidden fruit" with an absolute ban.
 
I have just ordered a donut maker. I'm going to half the amount of sugar in the recipe and roll them in candarell instead. Will let you know how they taste.
 
I enjoy watching the ring doughnut maker at the fair. The slogun is "Our do-nuts have non-fattening centres :D "

The centres are also sugar- & jam-free, so just eat the centre & give the outside to the kids :roll:

Mini Donuts..........2,400 per hour
 
I love them too, but particularly the fresh cooked crisp coated variety you used to find in Austria( do you still?)
Sadly I don't eat them any more, but wouldn't be above stealing a bite from someone else.
So give one to a friend and steal a little bit.

THAT is an excellent idea, I'd be very interested to hear how you get on :)
 
Glad to be of help.

Will let you know how 'good' they taste. If they dont stick and taste like cement.

If the children refuse to eat them, it will be on ebay next week.
