Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup flax seed meal
  • ¼ cup toasted wheat germ (honey crunch or regular)
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup apple cider
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup PLAIN yogurt (low fat)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted & cooled)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
Brown Sugar Topping
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey crunch toasted wheat germ
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and spray donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour through ground ginger.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: apple cider through vanilla. Slowly incorporate wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, careful not to over-mix.
  4. Fill donut pan 1/4 cup at a time using a measuring cup or ice cream scoop.
  5. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let donuts cool on rack for 10 minutes.
  6. While donuts are cooling, mix together brown sugar topping. After donuts have cooled for 10 minutes, remove from pan and dip in the brown sugar topping. It’s important to do this while donuts are still slightly warm.
  7. Serve donuts warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • If you don’t have flax seed meal or toasted wheat germ, replace with same quantity in whole wheat pastry flour for the donut batter.
  • If you are looking to replace the toasted wheat germ in the brown sugar topping, just replace with additional cinnamon and sugar.
