Glazed Gingerbread Donuts
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup milk + 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 Tablespoons molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons plain yogurt/sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- For the Donuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a standard size 6-cup donut pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
- In a separate smaller bowl, combine buttermilk, oil, molasses, egg and vanilla. Mix well.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not over-mix or your donuts could be tough. Batter should be lumpy. Spoon batter equally into the 6 donut pan cups.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- For the Glaze: Whisk all the glaze ingredients together until well incorporated. Once donuts have cooled completely, top with glaze.
- Enjoy!
