Time to make the doughnuts. These homemade healthy Krispy Kreme donuts can be vegan, sugar free, and you can customize the basic recipe to make different flavors!

Sticky, sugary-sweet Krispy Kreme homemade donuts.

So do these homemade donuts (doughnuts or donuts?) taste exactly like real Krispy Kremes?

No, and they’re not supposed to. I always thought Krispy Kremes were too saccharine, with all that glaze covering every inch of the greasy pastries, weighing you down and zapping your energy.

Today’s recipe yields doughnuts that are super light and fluffy, not dense or gummy, which is a problem with many baked doughnut recipes.

These doughnuts will leave you feeling full, yet energized!

Good for breakfast, or dessert, or even as a healthy post-workout snack.

Did you know there’s a charity race called the Krispy Kreme Challenge, where participants run 2.5 miles, shove down an entire box of Krispy Kreme donuts, and then run another 2.5 miles back to the starting line?

I can’t even imagine the horrible stomachaches that must ensue.

Who comes up with these things??

Someone recently pointed out that my blog—while filled with chocolate, peanut butter, and coconut—is very much lacking in international flair. Tarts, flans, sticky rice, churros… all of these things (and more) are missing from the recipe archives, and I’d like to remedy this. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated: What are some good desserts to try from around the world?
