Don't you just love summer? I know I do, partially for the weather and partially for all the fresh, in season foods. With everything going on in the world, this summer feels a bit different, not as light and carefree. One thing we can do to spark a little joy in our lives during this time is bake! And why not bake with some of our favorite summer fruits, like raspberries and lemons. I created these healthier lemon donuts with raspberry glaze so that you can have a fun baking experience and create something "healthy" enough to enjoy for breakfast or a snack.
