How To Make healthy homemade doughnuts

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 425 F. In a large mixing bowl, sift together – or stir with a whisk – flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add buttermilk, egg and butter. Mix until just combined.
  • Step 2
    Scoop batter into a large Ziploc-style bag, or a large piping bag, and snip off the tip to fill the batter in a doughnut pan. Fill each doughnut cup approximately 1/3 to 1/2 full. The batter will rise quite a bit during baking. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until the top of the doughnuts spring back when touched. Cool in pan 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Step 3
    Next, to prepare the frosting, stir sugar, milk and extract in a small bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Use immediately to glaze doughnuts. Dip each doughnut in glaze, then set on a plate. Top with sprinkles while still wet.
