It is a basic truth: if you make something at home, chances are it can be more healthy than if you buy it commercially. So what did I make? My kids love the mall, mainly because every time we go, my two young sons both get a pretzel. I forget the name of the company, but it is the blue lettering on white back. The pretzels are sugary and dripping, yes dripping, with butter or oil. Well, I swear that each pretzel has a thousand calories and while it may taste good, it isn't that good for young children, or anyone for that matter. I made my own pretzels at home, twisted them, brushed them with egg yolks, sprinkled some Kosher salt and had some delicious alternatives made.
What is better than pretzels? Doughnuts or Donuts, however you spell it. I found a recipe online and will the switch of Truvia for the sugar I produced a good sweet dough and then made some shapes, cut them out, let them rise and here ya go.
The recipe was here:

Only thing I would suggest as a change, roll the dough thicker than 1/3rd inch. Maybe 1/2 inch, as they don't rise that much.
