Ingredients
- granulated white sugar, (for preparing pans)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, (beaten)
- ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup apple butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup apple cider
- ⅓ cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 2 ounces light cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar, (sifted)
- 1 dash cinnamon
- 2 to 3 tablespoons nonfat milk
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat the doughnut pans (you'll need two 6-cavity pans) with nonstick spray or oil, and sprinkle with sugar, shaking out the excess.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider, yogurt and oil. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
-
Divide half of the batter among the cavities in the prepared pans, spoon about 2 generous tablespoons of batter into each cavity. Don’t fill them to the top or your doughnuts will lose their holes when the batter puffs up while baking!
-
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly. Loosen the edges and turn the doughnuts out onto a rack to cool. If you only have one doughnut pan, you can clean the pan, re-coat it with oil and sugar, and repeat with the remaining batter.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and cinnamon, adding enough nonfat milk to create a spreading or dipping consistency. Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the icing, then set right-side-up on a rack to let the icing set.
