Spiced Apple Cider Donuts

Donuts are often a soul nourishing treat. Apple cider donuts even more so: a winter treat reserved for when apples are fresh and warming spices are necessary to boost morale as short days and cold temperatures become the norm. Equally soul nourishing, our donuts are a more nutrient rich take on this beloved classic. Full of protein and fiber from chocho, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and apple cider, and gluten free friendly, these donuts are a win-win-win. They’re perfect as a more festive breakfast treat paired with coffee, matcha, tejate, or your favorite morning beverage, wonderful as a snack, and decadent enough for a dessert.
