Since going GF and now CF I’ve eaten my share of poor tasting, cardboard-texture, fake, gluten-free baked goods (I guess I should do reviews on them too, but it doesn’t seem fair to bash them — maybe SOMEbody would like ’em..). But the Kinnikinnick Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are fanTABulous!!! They’re frozen (to keep fresher longer), so I just heat one up (25 seconds in the micro) in the morning while our DS is eating his breakfast. (Usually I have to wait until he’s full from HIS breakfast or else he ends up taking “just one little taste.. please?!?!” until he’s eaten almost half of my precious GFCF fast breakfast.) While they’re pretty small (think of a kind of “mini” donut compared to “normal sized” donut, say, a Krispy Kreme), they’re very dense (not in a bad way tho!) and filling. Which is good, ’cause at almost a buck a pop, they’re pricey (but what GFCF prepared food isn’t).
I also like the Vanilla version, but they’re a little too sweet for my newly sensitive taste buds. The first couple of bites rock, with the vanilla icing nice a melty and the donut perfectly spongey inside. The texture of both versions are really delightful. (I took my son and two of his little cousins to get donuts after a sleepover one day. I heated up two of these Cinnamon Donuts and put them in a baggie and wrapped it in a towel and stuck it in my purse. After getting the kids settled, I took them out and they were still a little warm. And I sat there, surrounded by the smell of freshly baking Krispy Kremes and didn’t feel at ALL left out! It was wonderful!)
I just saw that there’s a Chocolate Dipped version available now! I can’t wait until our Whole Foods or Publix starts carrying them! But until then, I’m just so happy to have my Cinnamons. (I just think the Vanilla Donuts are just too sweet to eat the whole, little donut. Maybe if I dunked it… Not in milk, no, not anymore. But a yummy Vanilla Almond Chai Latte. Ooooh, yum!
