Cinnamon Biscoff Donuts

Yesterday the girls made Cinnamon Biscoff Biscuits.  We used Jack Monroe's recipe, and as Jack had included the costs (14p each) I was interested to see how much we would make it for, and also, how many calories each donut is.

So, I made the girls a table of the ingredients and asked them to use the Tesco's website to look up the nutritional values of each item.  As they did this independently, depending on which items they chose to look up (eg what brand of flour etc) they got differing values to each other (the photo was also before I corrected DD2's kCals calculations).

I did have to help them with the maths, specifically writing out the equations needed to calculate the price per recipe and the kCals per recipe.

They calculated (approx) 15p per donut and 210kCals/donut.

Jack Monroe said each donut costs 14p, and when I use a different calculator (which had preset nutritional values per food) it came up as 247kCals/donut, so not bad approximation!

And yes, you can tell from the photo at the top, we have tried them, and they are delicious.  An easy donut recipe made with things already in the cupboard!
(The only ingredients I needed to specifically buy were the white chocolate and biscoff biscuits for the topping, but really you can use a simple icing to drizzle and they would be just as delicious).
