Coffee & Donuts - Sugar Free Desserts

Happy National Coffee Day! Seriously it is... Google it. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood too *cue Mister Rogers theme* It actually feels like Fall. 80°F high, 59°F low. I took full advantage of the cooler temps and baked. What goes better with coffee than donuts? Just ask Homer Simpson.

My current favorite is the Pumpkin coffee which I used to make my Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte. Soooo good. The teas are yummy too. My evening ritual is a cup of the African Rooibos.

Chocolate Donuts more your style. Here's my original version.
