Loaded with protein and calcium! Healthy Baked Cake Donuts will make you rethink your weekend donut shop, letting you stay in your pjs a little bit longer! Bonus, you can even make these into muffins if you don’t have a donut pan (yet!).
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, sugar, butter, egg, yogurt, milk and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Combine sifted flour to the large bowl with other ingredients. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix batter on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Fold the chocolate chips in with a spatula.
Spray a donut pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into a large plastic bag, cutting a small hole in the corner of the bag. Fill donut pan with batter. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter for other 6 donuts.
Prepare frosting by mixing powdered sugar, yogurt and vanilla extract in a bowl. The consistency of the glaze should be thick enough so that it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Using your hands, dip donut in glaze and let it set up on a cooling rack. Top with optional chocolate chips and maple walnuts.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze plain donuts for up to two months.
