Kinnikinnick Donuts are Dipped in Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Satisfaction

I still remember the first time I tried Kinnikinnick Donuts. It was about a decade ago, and I was speaking at a Food Allergy Expo. On a break, I went around to check out the food booths, and discovered a big crowd around the Kinnikinnick table. They were sampling their new gluten-free, dairy-free donuts, and could barely keep up with the demand. Those glazed pastries were so good, no one could believe they were so allergy-friendly.

Since I have become more plant-based I have been looking for a good donut that would be satiated without too much sugar. These definitely hands down won. I would love them to do away with the egg and make them vegan because I don’t need the calories for the cholesterol. But for now these are my first choice.
