Then you must try this super-duper easy recipe! I stumbled upon this recipe a little while ago, and altered it a bit to make these little treats lighter and more nutritious.
When I made these donuts for the first time I couldn’t believe how moist and fluffy they were! Now I want to make them in chocolate and fruit versions too!
These are so easy and fun to make, great if you are pressed for time or if you want something fun to do with the kids at home.
Total time: 30-35 minutes
Ingredients:
Batter:
1-cup whole-wheat white flour
1/4-cup honey
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 large egg
1/4-cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp. fat free milk
1 1/2 tbsp. grapeseed/ or any nut oil such as walnut (I used walnut oil)
1 tsp. vanilla bean extract
Glaze:
3/4 C. powdered sugar
1-1.5 tbsp. fat free milk
1/2 tap. Vanilla bean extract (I also added some seeds from ¼ of a vanilla bean)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Spray a donut pan with oil.
In a medium size bowl combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon).
In a smaller bowl whisk together all of the wet ingredients (egg, yogurt, milk, oil, vanilla, honey) until well combined.
Add the wet mixture into the flour mixture and combine until the dough is soft and not too sticky.
To ensemble the dough you have two options:
Option 1: place dough in a plastic pastry bag and squeeze unto donut pan to make a donut shape.
Option 2: Spray your hands with an oil spray and take small portions of the dough and roll between your hands. Make a long log and then combine both ends to make donut shape.
Either way you choose to make the shape, the flavor will be delicious. After the donuts are on the pan, place in the oven for 10-14 minutes.
Remove from the oven when light and golden and allow them to cool completely.
Glaze:
To make the glaze add the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk using a fork. If you want the glaze to be thicker like mine, add more powdered sugar to your mixture until you get the consistency you want.
Dip each donut into the glaze and top with sprinkles immediately (before the glaze sets in). Enjoy right away! 🙂
I hope you enjoy these and thanks for stopping by!
