It’s fun to indulge! But what if we could indulge while also nourishing our bodies?! As a kid, donuts were my absolute favorite treat and I would get my favorite donut every birthday. Now as an adult, I can replace my angel cream filled long john donut obsession with these healthy but delicious Maca, Blueberry and Lemon Donuts!
No Donut pan? No worries and use a muffin pan instead! Works great either way.

Let cool completely before removing from donut pan. Then turn over and let it sit on a wire wrack to ensure bottom is cooled and set too.
