Ingredients

For the donuts:
  • 1 cup (127 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) unsweetened nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
For the Lemon Glaze:
  • 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) confectioners powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Instructions

For Doughnuts:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 6-cup donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together egg, yogurt, oil, and lemon juice. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into the hole. Gently fold everything together until combined. The batter will be thick; do not overmix.
  3. Scoop batter into a piping bag or freezer bag and snip a bottom corner with scissors. Squeeze out batter evenly into prepared donut pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few moments and then flip over onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For Glaze:
  1. Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Add more sugar for thickness, more lemon juice for thinness. Dip the doughnuts in glaze and place on a lined baking sheet. Let stand until glaze has set before serving.
