HEALTHY FLOURLESS CINNAMON BUN BREAKFAST DOUGHNUTS

Oh, the things you uncover after a solid clean.

Before I went to America, my mum and sister told me they would be giving my childhood room a Spring clean….or rather, a ‘good riddance clean’.

A few of the things which were sent to storage include-

High school photo albums (goodbye mushroom hair, blonde tips and chubby cheeks)

High school textbooks (laziness prevailed, instead of throwing them out)

University textbooks (most still in their plastic wraps)

CLOTHES (SO MANY CLOTHES)

Random bits and pieces….including a random doughnut pan.

It was like a blessing in disguise- I had intentions to get a doughnut pan as soon as I arrived, as I had some fun ideas and this saved me time AND money.

Just don’t ask me how I acquired this doughnut pan.

I have NO idea.
