National Donut Day & Review of The Original Donut Factory

Today, June 3rd is National Donut Day.

So, to celebrate it I did a review of the Original Donut Factory and made some donuts last night for today.
I’m sure you’re saying, “Ummm Tara, donuts aren’t healthy”
But, these are a bit healthier since they’re not fried…(good justification right?)
Seriously though, I am going to be working on some healthy mini donut recipes to bring healthy whole options to you.
However, for today you’re going to have to deal with chocolate donuts with a chocolate glaze (sorry it’s what the daughter wanted and at about 50 calories each I couldn’t say no…all in the name of doing this review of course!).

First let me tell you about The Original Donut Factory.

It’s compact so doesn’t take up a lot of space on the counter.
Some appliances take awhile to heat up, not this! It heats up in a short few minutes and is ready to go.

When you open it up, you’ll find six little cavities to make your mini donuts in.

The cooking plates are coated with non-stick surface so you just have to lightly spray with cooking oil or whatever you want prior to using to ensure the donuts come out easily.
Clean-up was a cinch.
Just wiped it down with a cloth and that was it.

This is a great appliance to have on hand for fast & easy snacks. Seriously, you can whip out 3 dozen of these mini donuts in a matter of minutes.
Well worth the price (under $30) and easy enough for the kids to help you (though keep little kids away from the cooking plates since they obviously get hot).

These passed my daughters taste test with flying colors!
I’m planning on experimenting with some goji berries, oranges, peanut butter, bananas, organic dark chocolate, mint and who knows what else!
