Ingredients
- – 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil at room temperature
- – 1/2 cup (100 g) unrefined sugar
- – 1/3 cup (70 g) packed brown sugar
- – 1 large egg
- – 1 1/2 teaspoons (8 ml) baking powder
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) baking soda
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
- – 2/3 cup (60 g) oats
- – 2 cups (240 g) whole-wheat pastry flour
- – 1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- – 1/3 cup (80 ml) apple juice
- – 1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt
- – 1/2 cup (120 g) unsweetened applesauce
- – 1/2 cup (60 g) vegetarian-friendly marshmallows
- – 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
- – Extra vegetarian-friendly marshmallows for topping if desired
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F and lightly coat the donut or muffin pan with oil.
- In a big bowl, blend the vegetable oil, unrefined sugar, brown sugar, and egg until the mixture is creamy, which should take about 5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- Incorporate the baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and oats into the creamy mixture, ensuring everything is well mixed and the bowl’s sides are scraped down.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low, then gradually add the whole-wheat pastry flour, cocoa powder, and apple juice. Stir until well combined. Follow by adding Greek yogurt and applesauce, mixing just until the ingredients are blended together without overmixing.
- Spoon the batter into the greased donut or muffin pan and bake for approximately 12–15 minutes. Alternatively, you can shape the batter into balls and place them on a baking sheet for donut holes.
- After baking, allow the donuts to cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool for an additional 5 minutes prior to glazing.
- As the donuts cool, prepare the marshmallow glaze by melting the marshmallows with water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled donuts.
Notes
- Consider using whole-wheat pastry flour for added fiber and nutrients in a healthier option.
- Enhance the chocolate flavor by using unsweetened dark cocoa powder for a rich taste without added sugar.
- For a sweeter glaze, add extra vegetarian-friendly marshmallows on top of the donuts before serving.
