Author Cheri

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Davidson's Safest Egg
  • 4 oz container Yoplait Greek Yogurt
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 tablespoon low fat milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325ยบ. Lightly grease two 6 count donut pans with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg, yogurt, oil, buttermilk and lemon zest. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Divide batter evenly into 12 donut cups, filling each about half full. (Use a pastry bag or plastic bag with corner cut out to make filling the cups easier.)
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes in the pans.
  • Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a thin glaze.
  • Remove donuts from pans and dip into the glaze. Sprinkle if desired with colored sprinkles. Cool on a wire rack.
