Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup skim milk
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix the applesauce, yogurt, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add the skim milk to the batter and stir until smooth and pourable.
Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Gently transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your low-fat honey donuts!
