I was just trying to be a good BYC'er and share my recipes. Remember they are homemade, so they have to be good for you!

What? Low Carb? Nooooo...surely they're carb-less.

All the carbs, fat and bad stuff leaks out when you cut the holes in the center

I can rationalize anything

looking at my GD's carb book, it shows that homemade donuts are actually lower in carbs than most name brand ( ie: chain brands)
for plain home made the carb count for1 1/4 oz donut ( average size) is 25 carbs

for a top chain brand the carbs are same weight, is 29

for a raised sugar donut the carb is 22, for the same weight.
break down follows
170 calories
8gm fat
22 carbs.
so if on a diet you can technically have 1 donut and exchange it later.
but I am not so sure anyone can ever eat just one LOL.

remember when dieting as I have learned, calories are a big part of losing weight but watch the sneaky carbs, thats were the real weight issues come from.
ex: 360 calories and 54 gm of carbs, you just defeated the lower calorie intake.

The picture with all the donuts, was that from one batch or more? I may try this but if that's one batch, I may split the dough and try to freeze it or cut the recipe in 1/2. That's alot of Beautiful donuts and would be way too tempting for my children to finish them all off.........Donut Eating Contest!

Yes, the picture is from one batch!! I think one batch makes about 70-80 donuts plus donut holes! I forgot to mention that in my first post.
