makes 6-8 donuts
For the donuts:
1 cup unbleached cake flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup organic skim milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon organic skim milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
3. Add in the yogurt, milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
4. Carefully spoon the donut batter into the prepared baking pan. Fill each cavity about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the donuts just spring back when touched.
6. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for five minutes. Then remove donuts from the pan and let cool completely.
7. While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
8. Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place the glazed donuts on a plate and let the donuts rest for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set before eating.
