Healthier than fried donuts and not too sweet!
First made June 2025 in Minneapolis, visiting son Ben
2-1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose white flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
1 c. sour cream
3/4 c. light brown sugar packed
1/4 c. butter, melted
4 Tbls. canola oil
1 t. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
1 t. vanilla extract
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine.
In a separate large bowl, add the sour cream, brown sugar, butter, canola oil, and vanilla extract; mix well.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.
Lastly, add the flour mixture and mix well.
Scoop the batter into a large Ziplock bag and cut a small amount off a bottom corner tip of the bag (see note). Pipe the batter into the donut pan in a circle.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
Glaze: Make while the donuts are baking; powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
Once the donuts finish baking, remove from pan onto a wire rack. Let sit 5 minutes before placing them into glaze mixture (do one at a time).
Return to wire rack to finish cooling and harden. Allow the donuts to cool for about 30 minutes before eating.
