Urban Legend makes the most of a patented steam process and 50% less sugar to offer better-for-you donuts that rival the taste and texture of beloved donuts. For caramel fans, Fool's Gold is a donut with golden caramel icing, caramel crunch and golden nuggets and the non-HFSS treat is both decadent and guilt-free. Some of the other options from the new donut brand include Berry Unbelievable and Choc Party.
Anthony Fletcher, founder of Urban Legend and former CEO at Graze, says "Healthier products have been introduced in many categories over the last 10 years, but cakes and baked good have been left behind – the industry seems to feel it just isn’t possible to keep sweet treats delicious when healthier, you have to sacrifice one for the other."
