Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan with nonstick spray or use a silicone donut mold.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, egg, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is, or dust with a little powdered sugar if desired.
