New relationship alert! This pairing is unexpected—but really sweet in all the right ways.
No, I'm not talking about Selena Gomez and the Weeknd. Instead, it's rose and pistachio, the two ingredients that get hot and heavy in this mouthwatering donut recipe.
The Valentine's Day-ready combo comes courtesy of Elizabeth Stein, best-selling cookbook author and founder of Purely Elizabeth. Like most relationships, these donuts (which also happen to be vegan and gluten-free) have a hint of sweetness, a dash of spice, and a whole lot of nutty.
Not to mention the fact that they make for a super-attractive couple. (Seriously, the only other twosome that could outdo them in the looks department is—if the rumors are true—Kate Hudson and Brad Pitt.)
The only downside? This might be just a one-night stand...since it's likely that a batch of these will disappear pretty quickly.
Here's how to make this gluten-free rose pistachio donut a reality—just in time for Valentine's Day.
