Ingredients

  • For the doughnuts:
  • ¼ cup butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup unrefined sugar
  • cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • cup oats
  • 2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • cup milk of choice
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
  • For the glaze:
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup water
  • Extra mini marshmallows for topping if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease the donut pan or muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, and egg until smooth, about 5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium-high setting.
  • Mix in the baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and oats to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly, making sure to scrape the sides.
  • On low speed, add the whole-wheat pastry flour, cocoa powder and milk. Mix well. Add the Greek yogurt and applesauce. Mix until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fill the prepared donut pan or muffin tin and bake for 12–15 minutes. You can also roll them into balls and place on a baking sheet for donut holes.
  • Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then place on wire rack for 5 minutes to cool before adding a glaze.
  • While donuts are cooling prepare the marshmallow glaze by mixing both ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Pour on top cooled doughnuts.
