Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Donut Pan
- Oven
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
Donut:
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
Topping:
- 5 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1.5 tbsp vanilla creamer or milk I use NutPods
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and whisk together to combine
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, Greek yogurt, oil, almond milk, and almond and vanilla extract until mixture is smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to combine, until you have a uniform mixture with a consistency of cake batter. Add sprinkles and gently fold in.
- Spray your donut pan with cooking spray and put roughly 2 tbsp of batter into each. It doesn't need to be filled to the top, as these will rise
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, until they’ve risen a bit and a toothpick comes out clean. They should be light and springy.
- Allow donuts to cool to room temp on a cooling rack
- Mix powdered sugar with creamer (or milk), adding liquid 1/2 tbsp at a time until you have a runny glaze.
- Drizzle 1 tsp of glaze onto each donut and spread with a spoon. Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
