    It was and now I can not look at it. I am not sure if it got closed down, or what happened to it.

    As a chef I can not sit by and watch people destroy food. I understand wanting to be healthy and make good choices and that is great. I was the author of my own demise after I learned pastries from an amazing chef, I was able to create all these things whenever I wanted. I have Binge Eating Disorder and my go to food was sweets so I self-sabotaged, but once I got myself treatment for the eating disorder, I realized that I can still have the pastries, and sweets I love but just use moderation. I think if someone wants a kale, kelp, cauliflower, sadness bowl then they can have it, we just need to come up with a name for it. I need to come up with a name for the fake sweets people are trying to make with mashed potatoes, and kale, and cauliflower so my blood pressure can go back down to a safe level lol.

    Exactly. I mean I make the occasional cauliflower "pizza" but I consider it another alternative way to eat some extra veggies - it in no way substitutes for a real pizza other than a similarity in appearance (base, sauce, cheese, toppings)... and I don't always plan ahead enough to make a proper yeast crust.

    I love doughnuts, but have not had one in eons mostly because when I do finally spend the calories on it, it better be a good doughnut - not some sad grocery store baking section thing... and certainly not a cauliflower based one.

    The other night I was out with friends and had some calories left, so I opted to order a cookie sundae, split it with the others and have a little treat. It sucked. I only had two bites and then left it.. it wasn't good enough to blow the calories on.

    Here's to wonderful treats - in moderation.

    It was closed down. People got pretty heated, throwing insults back and forth about whether people should just eat a normal donut or not.

    I genuinely want to know what was in that doughnut. I'm a pastry cook and the thought of a cauliflower doughnut horrifies me.

    From what I recall it was cauliflower, peanut butter powder, protein powder, sugar-free jam and other assorted crap. She said it tasted good fwiw but I'd rather have a peanut butter sandwich than go through all that rigamarole.

    WHAT.

    Wow alright I think this might actually keep me awake in thought all night tonight :o

    Cauliflower, vanilla protein powder, sugar free jam, powdered peanut butter, some other things, you mush it all together and put it in a "doughnut pan"??? and bake it. At least I am not the only culinarian who was horrified at the thought of the sadness doughnut.

    That's....that's not a doughnut like at all. You can't just put something in a cake doughnut pan and it's a doughnut. :|

    I regularly make a "Cauliflower Pizza" for my wife and her sisters. It has caramelized red onions and sauteed mushrooms on it. They love it. So do I. I intend to go to Culinary school in a couple years after I retire. Hope I don't turn into a judgmental food snob.

    You're gonna have at least five people in your class that think they need to put truffle oil on everything don't let them do it.

    I tried googling 'cauliflower donuts' to see if I could find her exact recipe and I failed. However, I'll share this 'donut' recipe with y'all because even though I don't like eggs it sounds like it would be pretty tasty!

    I love to cook. Do all the cooking in my home. Always wanted to go to Culinary School, but sometimes life has other plans. Now, I am getting ready to retire and my wife and I are moving to Las Vegas, so I can finally go to Culinary School. Can't wait. I'm sure I'll meet all kinds of people with all kinds of opinions. Never had truffle oil. Looking forward to learning all kinds of new things.

    Good luck to you! It's an incredibly difficult but fulfilling field! :)

    (It was a joke cause truffle oil is seen as this amazing thing but it's super expensive so students that get their hands on it put it on everythinggggggg f.e something at my school put it in an omelette during breakfast class )

    Who are you guys, the food police of MFP? If you don't like somebody posting a cauliflower donut recipe, move on and click away children!

    ^ The problem was posts like this. People are going to disagree and I personally find these recipes vile. They'll never be close to the real thing. That said, discuss them and some will like them some will not. Not that big of a deal.

    I'll never find out how big the donuts were. The serving size was 2, but how big is each donut? I've only ever seen the mini donut pans and those are small.

    Do you have the amounts for each ingredient? I could probably tell you if you do.

    I found a cached version of the thread! Here's a screenie of the recipe from OP:

    I read page 4 and apparently I was the one who got the white knights up in arms. I don't recall saying how bad the recipe was, but that I'd rather have a protein bar or the cost was more than 3 dozen donuts.

    Okay first of all! This recipe is a mess like this is a fact I need to get out of the way it's a mess. It has a leavening agent in there that I don't even think would work well here. Is this suppose to rise?

    Yeah it'd work with a small pan because this is supposed to give 2 servings and the recipe added up and halved for the servings gave me a guesstimate of 90 grams. Two small doughnuts. That would cost more than two boxes.
