I use sprouted spelt flour but if you don't have it, you can substitute it with either whole wheat or all purpose white flour.
Ditch your popular brand of cooking spray and use the healthier version - olive oil cooking spray.
Here is the donut pan I use.
I've made these donuts many times and sometimes the batter is dryer than other times. That's normal, it tastes the same.
Ideas on toppings to dip the donuts: shredded coconut, small chocolate chips, small M & M's, powdered sugar, cinnamon/sugar and chopped nuts.
