Donuts & Toaster Pastries

Sugar-free donuts used to mean one brand and one flavour. Chatila's Bakery makes the cream-filled kind, baked rather than fried on an almond flour base, in chocolate, vanilla, lemon and pumpkin. Legendary Foods protein donuts, in chocolate dipped, cinnamon crumble, pink sprinkle and vanilla glaze, carry protein closer to a shake than a pastry, and Quest and Redefine Foods add their own takes.

Legendary Foods also makes gluten-free cake style toaster pastries in flavours like Birthday Cake, Blueberry, Cherry Crumble and Hot Fudge Sundae, sold as singles or boxes of ten. They run high in protein for their size, which is why one holds you until lunch.

Chatila's doughnuts keep best in the freezer and thaw quickly; add a thermal pack in warm weather. Warm the toaster pastries in a toaster oven rather than a pop-up toaster, since the filling gets messy.
