Baked Blackberry and Cardamom Doughnuts

Report

We’ve taken one of our favorite sweets given it a healthy makeover. These baked cake-like doughnuts are fluffy, moist and full of flavor. We’ve striped this recipe of butter, shortening and oil by replacing them with nonfat Greek yogurt and all natural, unsweetened applesauce.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps and set aside.
In another mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients except for the blackberries and whisk together.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir together. Gently fold in the blackberries until just combined (batter should be thick)
Scoop mixture into a piping bag or a re-closeable plastic bag and snip the tip. Pipe mixture into prepared doughnut molds and bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until slightly darker than golden brown on top and doughnuts have begun to brown on the bottoms.
Remove from oven and allow doughnuts to sit for 5 minutes. Remove from molds and place onto a cooling rack.
For the glaze: Place blackberries into a food processor and puree until smooth. Strain. Add vanilla and powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
To assemble: Fully dip each doughnut into the glaze and shake to remove any excess. Allow glazed doughnuts to set, about 20 minutes, before serving.
