Baked Lemon Donuts




Ingredients

·      1 tsp baking powder
·      1/2 tsp baking soda
·      1/4 tsp salt
·      1/4 cup egg beaters or better’n eggs
·      3/4 cup plain non fat greek yogurt
·      1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
·      1/2 cup sugar
·      1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
·      1/3 cup milk (I used unsweetened plain almond milk)
·      Zest of 1 lemon

Glaze:
·         Lemon juice
·         Powdered sugar

Instructions

In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Set aside.
        In a large bowl whisk together egg beaters, yogurt, milk, applesauce, & lemon zest.
        Gradually add dry ingredients together with wet ingredients.

Pour into a piping bag or a large ziploc. Cut a corner off & pipe into a donut pan that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Make a glaze with some powdered sugar & lemon juice. Drizzle glaze on donuts. I juiced a whole lemon & then it took 2 cups of powdered sugar to make it into a glaze. I ended up tossing most of it.
Enjoy!
