Baked S’mores Donuts are the next best thing for breakfast. These are made with Teff flour, contain
just 2 tablespoons of oil and are gluten free, egg free, dairy free, peanut/ tree nut free and soy free.
Donuts are just one of those unhealthy junk foods that occasionally should be eaten… Ok, maybe
not should… but could. I’m not going to really suggest you eat things that are unhealthy–I’m
just being realistic. Everyone eats unhealthy once and awhile right? Donuts are starting to get
popular again since you can make baked versions. And dare I say it could be a healthy donut?! Eh,
I don’t know… but it’s for sure healthier 🙂
Food allergy friendly donuts are hard to near impossible to find for us. I haven’t invested much
time searching for them since there are more important staples like gluten free buns, gluten free
Believe it or not, I refused to eat donuts as a kid. Yeah. I’m a little weird. I could never
understand why people would love a bread dough that wasn’t ‘sweet’ compared to all the
frosting. (Confession: I would just eat the frosting off the donuts and maybe bite of the
actual bread part).
Ironically enough, I even worked at bakery in high school. I still wouldn’t eat the donuts.
(That’s how I stayed so skinny, I missed out on all the good stuff.) Occasionally, I would eat
a muffin or cookie but they were never really good. I guess I wanted the homemade
kind. Plus the bakery I worked at was in a grocery store, not a true bakery.
Over the years I’ve learned to appreciate foods like donuts, sour cream, cheese and many other
‘normal’ foods that I never ate growing up. Remember how I mention I was in college before I
even tried cilantro or avocado? Now I’ll try just about anything and love anything fried (once
in awhile, right?)
And I have to say, these donuts are reeeaaally good. Maybe I’m little bias. 😉 But in all seriousness,
I love these because they contain minimal oil AND are allergy friendly to our needs. The addition of
the teff flour adds a little extra nutrition too.
I hope you enjoyed S’more Week! It was fun thinking of new ways to make S’mores allergy friendly
and make them a touch healthier too. I just realized that all of my recipes were breakfast! Guess I
just want to eat some more s’mores as early as possible. 😛

Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
If we don’t have to be gluten free, do we use the same amount of regular all purpose flour? And if we don’t use teff flour, do we just add that same amount of all purpose flour?
Kelsey, you can always use regular flour 1:1 ratio for converting back to wheat based and omit any gums. Teff flour is dense and more like whole wheat flour so you can choose if you’d like more regular AP flour or a whole wheat but yes, add equal parts for the teff.
Can I use Ghirardelli chocolate for vegan recipes
If you are not Vegan, any chocolate may be used for a vegan recipe. Ghirardelli and most other chocolate companies use milk and are not vegan.
