Donuts and Whole Wheat... ...not yummy

In my effort to make things a little healthier by using all, or at least half, whole wheat in various recipes, I attempted whole wheat donuts a few weeks ago...

They started off great...

I used a biscuit cutter and the lemon juice cap...

Gave them some time to rise...

Lookin' good...

But even after frying them...

...and (double-dip) glazing them, they tasted like whole wheat rolls...

...definitely not the taste I was going for.

So next time I want donuts, there won't be any "healthifying" them for me. :-)
