Healthier Cinnamon Spice Donuts

  5.0 – 1 reviews  

The brown sugar and cinnamon topping on top of these cooked donuts makes them healthier. The brown sugar mixture is now on the bottom when the doughnut pan is removed, resembling an upside-down cake. They are slightly healthier than a fried doughnut because they are made with almond milk and Swerve®.
