Product: Katz Gluten Free Cinnamon Donuts – $6.49 (plus shipping)
I had another “Mmmmm…donuts!” moment.
I admit it. I’m not ashamed of it. These things happen. They happen all the time. It just doesn’t normally happen to me because normally donuts are off limits. This isn’t a “OMG…my thighs will get huge!” sort of off limits. No, no. This is a…eating that regular donut will hurt me kind of way.
Truth be told. I have always, always loved donuts and not being able to eat them kind of…well…sucked.
There are gluten-free varieties out there. They are limited varieties…but they exist. But none…none have equaled the donuts that I used to be able to indulge in every now and again. And then…along came donuts by Katz Gluten Free.
First it was the Powdered Sugar Donuts. I raved about those already, and rightfully so. I mean…they blew me away. Light, sugary, delicious…it was love at first (low-calorie) bite. And then, while minding my business one day an e-mail comes through advertising KATZ NEW CINNAMON DONUTS. Do you realize the effect my prior experience with their donuts had? Let me fill you in…
The instant, and I’m not kidding, I opened that e-mail, I was on the Katz Web site and placing an order. Honestly. I didn’t hesitate or blink in the process. I knew I had to try them because…I fell so head-over-heels for the powdered sugar variety. These had to be good too, right?
Well, let me tell you, when FedEx arrived with my package two days later I hurried up front to the receptionists desk, snatched the box, opened it up, marveled, put them in the freezer, and promised myself donuts for breakfast on Sunday. I couldn’t do it on Saturday as I had a road race and I have my specific foods I eat those days.
Sunday couldn’t come fast enough. I thawed out two donuts (one for me and one for my non-gluten-free roommate) and then gave them a quick 10 second buzz in the microwave to add a bit of that ‘freshly baked’ warmness to them. As I settled in for breakfast, I anticipated my first bite, wondering if it could live up to the powdered sugar variety.
It did just that and then some. These seem a bit more fluffy than the powdered sugar counterparts, but just as amazing and delicious. I had to keep myself from scarfing it down, remembering to chew each bite, taste the sweet cinnamon, enjoy the light cake-like texture. And I managed, but it was no easy task.
These donuts are beyond amazing. They are one of the best I have ever eaten (and before going gluten-free, I ate lots of different types of donuts). They are a cake-based donut, but they are so light. They don’t feel heavy at all when you eat them. The texture isn’t dense at all, just bite-for-bite delicious. I can’t wait to choose another morning to indulge because every time I open up my freezer, they beckon to me.
Katz, you have once again outdone your gluten-free counterparts. The Cinnamon Sugar donuts are, so far, my favorite thing from your lineup that I have tried. I’m in donut heaven and I have you to thank for it.
And for those of you who might be counting calories, one plump, donut-sized donut will only set you back 160 calories. How’s that for an indulgence? Fall in love with donuts again. And then…go to Katz Gluten Free and place an order for these. You won’t be disappointed. The hard part is not immediately ordering more. Yes…they are that good.
A little sweet, a little spicy, Katz completely captures the essence of the perfect donut with this product. I’m hooked.
