Description

These doughnuts have all the taste, moisture and texture of regular doughnuts without being deep-fried and drenched in fat. They are a treat that you do not have to feel guilty about eating.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • Optional Garnishes: Powdered Sugar, Cinnamon, Sugar, Melted Butter, Etc. See Below For Options

Preparation

1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.) Spray a doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
3.) Measure the vinegar and combine with milk and let the mixture sit while working with other ingredients.
4.) In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and cinnamon.
5.) Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add beaten eggs, canola oil, and the milk/vinegar mixture.
6.) Stir just to combine, DO NOT OVERMIX!
*There are two ways that the batter can be transferred to the doughnut pan. Personally I like to scoop the batter into a Ziploc bag, snip off the corner of the bag and pipe it in. Otherwise, if you are more coordinated than I am, feel free to simply spoon the batter in.
7.) Transfer batter by method of your choosing to the doughnut pan.
8.) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9.) Let cool in pan for 2 or 3 minutes.
10.) Lightly loosen the edges of the doughnuts to remove them from the pan to a wire rack to cool.

*If you choose to top your doughnuts, here are a few variations I have used:

Brush doughnuts with melted butter, then toss with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
OR…
Toss warm doughnuts with powdered sugar.
OR…
Mix up 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1-2 Tablespoons of water to make a frosting/glaze. Once glaze has set for a minute, top with sprinkles.
