Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini doughnut pan with a non-stick spray or butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and whisk until fully incorporated.
Stir in the milk and Greek yogurt, mixing thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will make the doughnuts dense.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the batter into the greased mini doughnut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled doughnuts with powdered sugar or a mixture of powdered sugar and ground cinnamon for added sweetness.
