- For the donuts:
- 1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour I use King Arthur brand
- 1/4 cup maple sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup vanilla skyr yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- For the glaze:
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp maple sugar
- 1/8 tsp bourbon vanilla powder
- 1 tsp half and half
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a donut pan and sprinkle with extra flour to evenly coat all sides of the donut molds.
Stir all dry ingredients for the donuts together with a whisk
In a separate bowl, whisk all of the wet ingredients together until well mixed
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined, using a spatula to scrape down the sides
Pour batter, evenly, into the 6 molds
Bake for 15 minutes
Remove from oven and allow donuts to cool for 5 minutes in the pan
Place donuts on a cooling rack to continue to cool while you make the glaze
For the glaze:
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for a few seconds
Stir in maple sugar and allow to sit until sugar melts
Stir in vanilla powder and half and half and microwave for 10 more seconds until smooth and pourable
Drizzle glaze over the donuts and serve
- Measure your ingredients accurately for the perfect consistency every time.
- Don't overmix the batter! You could end up with chewy donuts.
- Don't forget to grease your donut pan and grease it well, or your donuts will stick. You can use cooking spray or butter.
- For thick, fluffy donuts, fill each mold at least 2/3rds of the way full.
- Keep an eye on the oven and bake the donuts all the way through. Be sure to let them cool completely before drizzling with the glaze.
