Gluten Free Chocolate Cinnamon Donuts are loaded with chocolate, I mean loaded and have a great cinnamon chaser. These donuts are gluten free, grain free, dairy free and contain no granulated sugar. Definitely a delicious way to please your inner chocolate god/goddess.
We are back home from our well needed break in the sun down in Florida. I spent plenty of time lounging on the beach, eating great food and spending time with family.
I also spent time making up a list of things I want to accomplish before spring is in full swing here in Cincinnati. Mostly the list included recipes to try out that included several breakfast dishes. I really need to be a little more creative during the A.M..
These baked gluten-free chocolate cinnamon donuts are not all that creative, but they were darn delicious. They are fun and easy to make, and very fun and easy to eat. They didn’t last long in the house. My hubby actually asked where the last one went the next morning…… see easy to eat, I should know!
What is your favorite type of donut? Chocolate, Glaze, Jelly Filled? It is hard to pick just one.
