We won\u2019t get into the whole \u201cdonut\u201d vs. \u201cdoughnut\u201d thing because I think you know which side of that debate I\u2019m on. What we will discuss is how great donuts are. I mean, it\u2019s essentially a piece of cake that you can eat for breakfast! Sounds pretty good to me.<\/p>\n

The National Watermelon Promotion Board has a recipe on their website for \u201cWatermelon Donuts<\/a>,\u201d and since I salivate at the sound of both those words, I decided to try the recipe for myself. Their recipe calls for the donuts to be topped with slivered almonds. You can try that, but I\u2019m a little more adventurous, so I\u2019ve altered the recipe to include \u201cassorted toppings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which toppings did I choose? As you can see in the photo, I created my donut with crushed peanuts and a chocolate syrup drizzle. It was dee-licious! Which toppings would you use?<\/p>\n

WATERMELON DONUTS<\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Watermelon
\nSour cream
\nSugar to taste
\nVanilla to taste
\nAssorted toppings<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cut out circular donut shapes from 1 1\/2-inch thick slices of seedless watermelon. Eat leftover scraps of watermelon quickly, before anyone else does. Sweeten sour cream with sugar and a touch of vanilla to taste. Frost half the watermelon donut slices and place another slice on top of each, creating something that resembles a sandwich. Frost the top of your donut sandwich and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
