Such miracles shouldn't be possible! Healthy Iced Vanilla Donuts have the moist, cake-like texture and the sweet floral vanilla icing of a donut shop treat! However, instead of frying, Healthy Iced Vanilla Donuts are baked, reducing their fat content and calories so you can enjoy them guilt-free! Plus, you can make them in 30 minutes or less! Why would you ever stop by the coffee shop for a snack when you could have these instead?
Ingredients
- For the donuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon milk or heavy cream, plus more, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Step 2 -Lightly grease a donut pan.
Step 3 -Mix together the flour, the white sugar, the baking powder, the cinnamon, and the salt in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4 -Whisk in the buttermilk, the egg, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla, and the melted butter.
Step 5 -Use a spoon to equally distribute the batter into the donut pan.
Step 6 -Bake the donuts until dough is set and springs back upon touch, about 8-11 minutes. They will not be golden as some other donuts.
Step 7 -Allow the donuts to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Step 8 -Combine the powdered sugar, the remaining vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of the milk. Add the extra milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired glaze consistency.
Step 9 -While the donuts are still warm, dip them into the glaze.
Step 10 -Serve!
