CINNAMON SUGAR DONUTS ?

,

Just finished up watching @wearetransformation church and gosh – what a week (or year) it has been. with everything going on in the world. I am happy to see people using their voices to speak up against the racial disparity in our country. To be truthful, this is the first time I have seen so many non-black faces speak up, which gives me so much hope that maybe we can finally be heard and not just seen. I know there is so much work to do – and I pray that the words people are saying can transform into actions to make the world a better place. Nowwwww, in an effort to do something that brings me joy in this time I made these cute little cinnamon sugar donuts ? – it kinda tastes like a churro on crack ?? (if you’re into that). Basically followed Tastey’s simple donut recipe, but took it up a notch with my own flair. Enjoy!
