Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 0.25 cup Almond Flour
  • 0.25 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 0.25 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 0.25 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil melted and cooled
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 tsp Baking Soda

Equipment

  • 1 Donut Pan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Wire Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Then, add maple syrup, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the donut cavities, filling them about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
