Hey y'all, I'm Susan from Adventures in my Kitchen! I started blogging in 2011 as a way to keep track of my culinary creations while striving to create super tasty yet healthy and energizing meals. Along the way I discovered first hand that food is fuel, lost almost 20lbs, and also I got back in touch with my creative side. I absolutely love blogging and the community surrounding it!
Today, I am sharing with you lovely Frugal Foodie Mama readers one of my favorite breakfast treats, the Baked Coconut Donut. I am a big fan of both coconut and breakfast in general, so any time I can have them both is a win all around! *this is a treat and is in no way part of my regular healthy lifestyle, just so we're clear*
I bake my donuts in a Wilton Non-Stick Mini-Donut pan that I got from Amazon. I'd be a big tease if I showed you this nummy donut recipe and left you pan-less, so I am giving away a $10 Amazon.com gift card so you can buy your own!
