Recipe type: dessert
Serves: 7-8 donuts
Ingredients
  • 1 c. all purpose flour
  • ¼ t. baking soda
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • ½ t. ground nutmeg
  • ¼ t. ground cloves
  • ¼ t. salt
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ c. light brown sugar
  • ¼ c. milk
  • ¼ c. plain yogurt
  • 2 T. unsalted butter
  • 1 t. vanilla extract
  • Maple Icing:
  • ¼ c. unsalted butter
  • ½ c. pure maple syrup
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Make the glaze first. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and maple syrup together, whisking occasionally. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar. Set aside and allow to cool and thicken.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  3. Make the donuts. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Whisk the egg, brown sugar, milk, and yogurt together until smooth. Add the melted butter and vanilla, whisking until fully combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  4. Spoon the batter into the donuts cavities. I recommend using a zip-locked bag for ease. Cut off a corner of the bottom and pipe the batter into each donut cup - about ⅔ full.
  5. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for about 2 minutes and transfer to a wire rack.
  6. To glaze, simply hold the donut and dip into the icing. I like to dip each donut twice. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to let the icing drip down. Donuts are best served immediately
