Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tbsp light extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon spice
  • additional cinnamon for zhughing (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients until fully combined.
  • Roll 8 balls with hands and add to baking sheet pan (or make 2 donut rings and 4-5 1" balls).
  • Bake on 350°F/180°C for about 20 minutes. Don't overbake. Tips: With whole wheat flour, you'll tend to think that it may not be baked through so time is more reliable. About a few minutes or 5 minutes before finished, you can also flip the donut bottom to top of the pan, and see that the bottoms are slightly darker and finish your bake more evenly. Or for the donut holes, have fun rolling them around!
  • For a simple glaze, save your egg white and add a splash or water. Glaze donuts about 5 minutes before end of bake. You can also add a melted chocolate, light honey, or maple syrup glaze after the donut pan is cooled. Or simply zhugh with a dusting of cinnamon.
