Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate, Holiday Spices and Maple Theme Week(s).
Today's Chocolate Chip Know Better Donut, from Know Foods (Atlanta, GA), looked a little lonely; so it received some homemade "frosting" (made of organic cream cheese, maple (syrup), cinnamon and spices).
This baked good looked like a cross between a bagel and a donut, and appeared to be far healthier than most donuts, even with a rich topping.
Know Foods is building a brand for itself based on products like these Know Better Donuts, billed as: "...natural, non-GMO, grain/gluten free*, high protein, high fiber, low carb and low sodium—and have a near zero sodium index..."
Other health stats of note:
The company used Enjoy Life ("vegan, soy, nut, dairy and GMO free") chocolate chips in these donuts, and has plans to incorporate their own chocolate chips in the future.

Other health stats of note:
- 8 grams of fiber per donut
- 12 grams of protein per donut
- 6 grams net carbs per donut
Sounds good. These donuts were made with almonds* instead of grains. And the donut tasted better than many gluten-free baked goods. It was substantial and, refreshingly, not too sweet. (It did use allulose, a relatively new sweetener that we know little about.)
