I just found out yesterday that National Doughnut Day was Friday. Apparently it is always on the first Friday in June. I'm not sure how I had never heard of it before. :)
I have been searching for the perfect vegan doughnut recipe (that doesn't require yeast) and this seemed like a good reason to try out a new one. I figured better late than never definitely applies to honoring National Doughnut Day!
The doughnut above actually celebrates two things I love, doughnuts and peanut butter. The recipe I used is here http://lizlemonnights.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/peanut-butter-banana-donuts-with-chocolate-glaze/
Peanut butter and bananas, oh my! Plus this recipe uses some whole wheat pasty flour which makes me happy. The recipe directions don't mention when to add the non dairy milk (I used almond milk, I thought it would pair nicely with the peanut butter) so I added it into the banana, sugar, vanilla, EB mixture.. The verdict: these were good, although I think I would have liked them even better with a peanut butter glaze instead of the chocolate glaze. A peanut butter glaze would have definitely amped up the peanut buttery goodness. Despite all these had going for them, I have to admit my search is still on for the doughnut recipe of my dreams, but I would be inclined to make these again with a few tweaks. Oh, in case you noticed and were wondering, my coffee cup in the picture has my 3 wonderful grandchildren on it. It's my favorite cup if you can imagine. :)
As the title states, I love peanut butter, and really anything nutty for that matter. I was at our local co-op yesterday and one of the soups of the day was their African Groundnut Stew. This soup is delicious and has ingredients like sweet potatoes and nuts in it, yum! Even though it's not really stew weather, I couldn't resist sitting at one of the outdoor tables and devouring a cup with a nice whole wheat rockin roll (not pictured) and a Reed's Raspberry Ginger Brew (currently on sale).
All in all a great day!!
