Description

What’s better than enjoying a thick cake donut that’s healthy? This recipe also serves as a great base for variations such as pumpkin spice donuts and cinnamon blueberry as well! (see the related blog post for more recipe variations).

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DONUTS:
  • 1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Pear Puree (or Applesauce)
  • ¼ cups Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
  • ¼ cups Buttermilk
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Preparation

1. Lightly grease a donut pan and preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Sift all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the pear puree and combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl. Make a well and add to the flour mixture. Stir until just incorporated.
4. Fill a Ziploc bag with the batter and cut a slit in the corner, about a half inch from the end. Pipe the batter into each cup about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
5. For the glaze, combine sugar and milk. Add more milk as needed to reach desired consistency.

Made these this morning for my daughter’s birthday breakfast. We are used to healthier sweets around here so they were a hit!
