My ultimate favorite. I've made a Chocolate, Spice and a Berry version but HELLO!? Coffee and donuts together... perfection.
Toss a couple in a Ziploc baggie and when the bakery case at Starbuck's or goodies in the break room call to you you'll have something healthier as an option.
These freeze well just don't glaze them till defrosted. They keep several days in the fridge but you won't have them around that long non weight loss surgery peeps love them too (especially the whippersnappers.)
