Description
These light, airy donuts are baked in a donut-hole rather than fried, making them way healthier for you. Feel free to use whatever jelly you want for the filling.
Ingredients
- FOR THE DONUTS:
- 8 Eggs
- ¾ cups Honey
- ⅓ cups Safflower Oil
- ¾ teaspoons Almond Extract
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 2-⅓ cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup Jelly Of Your Choice
- FOR THE ICING:
- ¼ cups Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Preparation
1. For the donuts: Preheat oven to 350ºF . In a medium bowl whisk eggs and honey. Add oil, almond extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until combined.
2. Stir in 1 cup flour and stir until smooth. Add remaining flour and stir until combined.
3. Fill the holes in the doughnut pan 1/4 full. Drop 2 teaspoons jelly on top and gently spread over dough. Top with about 1 tablespoon additional dough and spread it over the jelly. Bake doughnuts at 350ºF for 16-17 minutes.
4. While donuts are baking, prepare icing by heating milk, honey, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Set aside.
5. Remove donuts from pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool 5 minutes. Drizzle icing over donuts and serve immediately. Store un-iced doughnuts in airtight container up to 2 days. Serve immediately after icing.
Yields 21 donuts.
