Hi Everyone,

My husband makes doughnuts using kamut flour, buttermilk and palm oil. He

lets the batter sit to ferment and thay are really good but he only makes them

once or twice a year in the fall to serve with fresh pressed apple cider. When

he was little donuts were his favorite treat and then in his teen years he

changed his diet and felt deprived of donuts until several years ago.

Perhaps you can find GF cookie that will fill in that craving. Or make toast and add a bit of jam.

Then pour the coffee!

I often have coffee at my neighborhood bakery. They know that if I want to eat anything there, I must bring my own. I try to be reasonably discreet -- I wouldn't want other customers to jealous of my GF cookie!

I would kill for a donut.. I drove to Safeway as soon as I saw that

they had them .. However being a Nutritional Trainer, I couldnt bring

my self to eat one after I read what was in them.. The Anza cinnamon

rolls are VERY good.. the blue berry scones with or with out coffee are

to die for... and all the ingredients are ACTUALLY food.

I don't especially care for the chocolate donuts, but I do like their

sugar donuts. Granted, donuts aren't generally healthy- but the main

ingredients (white rice flour, tapioca starch, eggs, sweet rice flour,

xanthan gum) are pretty standard ingredients in gluten-free baking.

*shrug* And I could be wrong (couldn't find Anza's darned site) but

they have plenty of weird alternative baking ingredients too, don't

they? Probably less preservatives. Of course, being vegan they would

be lower in fat and are definitely lower in sugar... but all of these

products are weird in their own way. If you want a donut replacement

for a weak moment, I do recommend the kinnikinnick cinnamon sugar

donut... just not as a regular staple of your diet, haha.

Here's the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar if anyone is curious:

Sugar, white rice flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon coating (sugar,

cinnamon), water, whole eggs, sweet rice flour, palm fruit oil (non

hydrogenated), fructooligosaccharide, yeast, pea protein, egg whites,

xanthan gum, fruit concentrate (dextrose, dextrin, fiber), salt, rice

bran extract, cellulose, KinnActive Baking powder (sodium acid

pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, pea starch, mono calcium phosphate)

glucono delta lactone, sodium bicarbonate, nutmeg

These extra preservatives tend to come up in companies that are trying

to distribute widely and have a decent shelf life for their products.

If you look at Ener-g foods products ingredient list- they are also

pretty unappetizing. ;) On the other hand, most gluten products

distributed similarly would have some fairly unappealing ingredients

as well- just depends what you're looking for in your food. I still

make most of my own baked goods, but it's nice to at least have the

option of an occasional donut or other prepared baked good. (The anza

products didn't really do it for me... won't be stocking up on them

anytime soon.)

PS What's anza's web page? I looked and looked and couldn't find it!

but

they?

actually they dont.... a quick check of the ingreds will re-

affirm...even though the ingreds may sound odd THEY are actually

FOOD... The food coloring in the donuts I looked at totally blew my

mind... seriously food coloring?

just like s junk food... not like I recomend eating them for

breakfast HOWEVER they are all food..... so the options are food

coloring, refined sugars, hydrogenated oils etc etc OR something

that has NONE of the later I chose the later....
