In between my rants for eating healthy gluten-free and focusing on things that are naturally gluten-free, I have to finally give in and post some dessert items and other gluten-free “substitute foods” (I know that this happens a lot more than I’d like to admit). So with that in mind, here are what I’m sure are some absolutely delicious Lemon Blueberry Doughnut Holes from The Baking Beauties. Inspired by Kinnikinnick’s blueberry doughnuts, these will satisfy any doughnut urge you may have.

“After reading last week that Kinnikinnick had announced their new spring doughnut flavour, I was excited. New doughnut flavours are always a good thing, right? But, then when I read that they were only going to be available for online ordering, or at their retail location, I realized I would never taste their blueberry doughnuts. I am not in the habit of ordering my gluten free foods online, and I am no where near their retail location. So, I did the next best thing, which I think is better anyway. I came up with my own version of blueberry doughnuts, I made homemade lemon blueberry doughnut holes. Oh, they are so good, you can either eat them fresh, or warm them up a little in the oven or microwave.
The lemony base for these doughnuts began with some lemon sugar. I am sure you could use regular granulated sugar and the zest of a lemon, but I think this increased the lemony flavour in these doughnuts. Don’t fret though, it is super easy to make…”
