Let's talk donuts for a moment. Why are those sweet, buttery, sticky goodness rounds so darn delicious? Well at least I think they are amazing because I love all things sweet in the mornings.

While they taste so decadent and comforting, they don't always make for happy jeans later. Plus sometimes, that sugary sweetness just doesn't give me the energy that I need in the morning. Until now!
The first step to making homemade 'healthy' donuts is to find a recipe that is super simple to make - probably the blender cinnamon roll donut recipe I am sharing today will suit your fancy. Then you need to get yourself a donut pan, because baked donuts are so much easier to make.
These blender cinnamon roll donuts have protein powder, greek yogurt, and eggs to up the protein value, and I subbed oatmeal in place of traditional flour. Then I added a layer of sweet, cinnamon deliciousness because this is a donut after all.

Any guess to where we are heading next? We've already called Michigan, California, Indiana, and Maryland home - you have 47 more states to guess from. And if there is anything along the moving front that you'd love to hear the details of, just let me know. Want to know the ins and outs of packing, what it's like selling your first or second home, finding where to call home when you aren't familiar with a new city, searching and buying a home, etc - you name it and I can share all the details with you.
It'll be an exciting journey and I want to take you all along with me... Again!
