National Donut Day 2022 FREE DONUTS!
As much as I love a rockin’ cupcake, the fried sugary goodness of a classic donut will always have my heart. Today is the day to celebrate all things donut and I, for one, plan to break my keto diet and have a “carb reload” day.
Ahem. Sure, that’s what we’re calling it. Let’s go with that.
Here’s your guide to celebrating National Donut Day 2022.
Guide to National Donut Day 2022
Free donut day 2022 kicks off bright and early!
Fun fact: National Donut Day started in 1938.
It began as a way to thank the World War I Donut Lassies, the Salvation Army volunteers who gave a little taste of home to the troops by way of fresh donuts.
So really, you should participate as it is the patriotic, as well as delicious, thing to do.

I know some of you out there aren’t about that commercial donut life. You’re looking for the real deal; the donuts that make you think of mom and those early Saturday mornings when she’d fry or bake you up a batch. Your mom did that, right? Mine did- because she’s pretty much the best mom ever!

I love these easy cake donuts recipes. Look, if I can make them, YOU can make them! And of course, they are themed to some of my favorite superheroes.

And if you aren’t into the Incredible Hulk from the Marvel Avengers movies, you can also call these Mardi Gras Donuts. I won’t tell him. 😉
And speaking of Incredible things… nows a good time to rewatch the Incredibles!
Make these Incredibles 2 Cake Donuts for National Donut Day 2022!
I simply adore Pooh Bear and love the way these Winnie the Pooh cake donuts turned out.
Also a good watch: the ‘new’ Christopher Robin movie, I think there’s going to be a lot of interest in Pooh and friends again this year!
Potato Donut
This is new to me, but looks ah-mazing! Check out this killer fastnacht recipe from Savoring the Good.
Sarah is a talented cook and I really wish she lived a little closer to me because: I NEED THIS IN MY BELLY.
This looks delicious and, speaking of the Mardi Gras donut above, this fits right in there!

Don’t blink; 4th of July will be here before you know it!
We’re doing a Washington DC 4th of July again this year (SO COOL!) – hope you guys have some great plans too.
And when it rolls around, I hope you have a happy celebration and you should probably start off with one of these Grand Old Flag donuts.
Don’t they look wonderful?
Also Awesome: Captain America Donuts
What can I say? I just love the Marvel movies so much around here. And Cap is my fave. So when my friend posted these Captain America donuts, I knew I had to share them too.
Cap: we’re with you ’til the end of the line or til these donuts are gone.

This was super cute, too. Alison from AllForTheBoys.com created these free printable shark fin picks, which are perfect to put on top of a cute ocean themed donut.

Awwww, yeah! The Hey Girl is making a comeback on National Donut Day with this donut meme!
Okay, so maybe not, but is there ever a bad reason to see Ryan smiling at us? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. Hey Girl…
And the ultimate donut meme star: you can’t say donuts around this house without saying, “Mmmmmm…. donuts….” ala Homer Simpson.
