WW BLUEBERRY LEMON DONUTS
Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar or a sugar substitute (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest of one lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup powdered sugar or a powdered sugar substitute
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (or sugar substitute), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, egg, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each donut well about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you’d like to add a glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar (or sugar substitute) and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice if needed.
Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and allow any excess glaze to drip off. Garnish with lemon zest if desired.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
