Laura, THANK YOU! I made these today for a Valentine’s Day treat and we were all moaning while we ate them! Haha…the best doughnut we have ever had, and we don’t feel sick or as guilty! BONUS! I only made up half of the dough and that was a perfect amount for four of us. I froze the other half, I hope it will work well? I also topped our batch two ways: Alton Brown’s Chocolate Glaze and another dipped in homemade syrup & cinnamon. YUM! God Bless you and your sweet family!

I just made the donuts and they were good! The first time I’ve ever made homemade donuts! I rolled my dough too thick so they were really thick after frying. Then I got my oil too hot and ended up burning half of them! We are getting used to whole wheat flour and the thicker texture of it (our journey to healthier eating) but everyone thought we should have them again!

Laura, Just an idea for you. I made the whole wheat doughnuts for my family this morning. Instead of cutting them into a traditional doughnut shape, I left them as circles and used… you know that needle thing you use to squirt flavors into meat??…. yeah, that thing, to squeeze in some jelly filling. They went over VERY well. Just an idea.

THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE! I just made them and they were FANTASTIC! The kids were excited that I’d actually offer them donuts for breakfast (with a glass of raw milk, of course). I did substitue 1 cup all purpose flour for the dry mix, and freshly ground kamut, soft and hard wheat berries for the whole flours. I also used buttermilk in place of milk. I will roll thinner next time since they do puff up a lot in the oil. Next time I may try soaking the flour and buttermilk overnight. Also adding dried blueberries to the batter and maybe some orange zest. YUM!
Will plan how to incorporate these as a birthday donut cake for my 8 year old!

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I love your doughnut recipe and have used it several times, now. This last time I incorporated the soaking method I picked up from a blog I know you’re familiar with (www.passionatehomemaking.com), and it came out beautifully.

I posted about it in my personal blog (http://joyfulmelody519.blogspot.com , not the blog I’ve linked here), and I linked to your recipe, so I thought you’d like to know!

Have a very blessed Resurrection Sunday Take care.

This is very bad. Now you have me thinkin’ about nothin’ but doughnuts! And I don’t have enough coconut oil left to make them. Anyway, when I do have some, can you give me some thoughts on what to do with the used oil when I am done? I assume I can’t use it for cooking at that point. Do you just throw it in the trash can? Is there some other good use for it?
