Healthy Donut? Homemade Fonuts Recipe

I love donuts and can easily down a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts in one sitting.  However, since I should try to be healthy during my pregnancy I was super excited to find fonuts!

Here are two that I want to try making.

Rosemary–Olive Oil Donut Recipe

Serves: 24

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

		Cooking spray
2	c	all-purpose flour
3⁄4	c	sugar
2 1⁄4	t	baking powder
1	t	salt
2		large eggs
3⁄4	c	milk
1⁄4	c	canola or vegetable oil

2	T	coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
		zest from 3⁄4 of a lemon
		juice from 1/2 of a lemon
1⁄4	c	pine nuts, toasted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°f. Lightly coat two 12-slot mini doughnut pans with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oils, rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients. Mix until just combined (mixture will be lumpy).
3. Spoon batter into all slots on both pans, each 2⁄3 full. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
4. Meanwhile, in a spice mill or coffee grinder, pulse pine nuts until they form a powder, then place in a shallow pan. Turn doughnuts out of pan, lightly spray tops with cooking spray, and dip into pine nut powder.
