EGGLESS CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS

These doughnuts are for the Blogging Marathon 47 week 1 day 1 where we had to choose from the link given to us from A to I . I made these Canadian chocolate doughnuts. According to wiki Canadians consume the most doughnuts in the world, and Canada also has the most doughnut stores per capita.

My hubby and daughter love doughnuts and are thrilled whenever I make them. When I made these doughnuts and gave them to my friends, they were so thrilled they could not believe that these are made at home.
