5 9 Published Feb 06, 2018, Updated Mar 20, 2023 Anyhow, the reason I’m even mentioning this little tidbit is because my recipe today is a semi-homemade almond flour donut recipe using Simple Mills’ Vanilla Cake & Cupcake Mix, Vanilla Frosting and Chocolate Frosting. If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that Simple Mills is a brand I absolutely LOVE. All of their products are made with simple ingredients and they’re also gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO and paleo-friendly! The banana muffin mix is amazing and I’m totally hooked on the almond flour crackers (you have to try the sun-dried tomato & basil)… but until recently I hadn’t had a reason to try the cake mixes or frosting. Well that changed because February is a month of celebrations over here. Isaac’s birthday is on the 8th (this week!) and my birthday is the 14th — Valentine’s Day!! I’m actually going to use the chocolate cake mix to make Isaac a cake for his birthday, but I also wanted to create something fun, romantic and delicious for my birthday, and that’s where these almond flour donuts with dark chocolate and rose petals come in. Aren’t they beautiful? I could literally just sit and look at these all day. As I mentioned, this recipe is totally a semi-homemade one because we’re using the Simple Mills products along with a few pantry staples to bring these donuts to life. The best part is that although the donuts look super fancy, they literally take about 30 minutes to whip up. So amazing! I used edible dried rose petals and chopped dark chocolate to decorate these donuts for Valentine’s Day, but you can play around with whatever festive toppings you like. I found my edible dried rose petals at our local natural market, but if you have trouble finding them you can always buy dried rose tea and use that instead. If the rose buds are still intact, just break them apart with your fingers before sprinkling over the donuts to decorate. And just in case you’re curious what dried rose petals taste like, they’re crisp with a light, floral flavor. Simple Mills products are widely distributed, but Whole Foods carries a large selection so that’s where I usually pick them up. You can check out their store locator for locations near you.
