If a doughnut were healthy, this one would fit the bill.
Oatmeal, Greek yogurt, eggs, a wee bit of sugar and mashed bananas.
I'm pretty darn proud of myself. The only doughnuts I've ever made, have been....well....very unhealthy....but very good too. {I am not ashamed to admit that I like doughnuts}.
These are another simple and easy make ahead breakfast item you can whip together for your family. They stay fresh for a few days in an airtight container and they'll last up to a month in the freezer. Easy, peasy, for grab-n-go breakfasts!
Here we go.
Oh, and if you aren't privileged enough to have a doughnut pan, just put this batter into regular muffin tins. It works all the same.
Lightened-Up Banana Bread Doughnuts
2.5 c. old fashioned oats
1 c. plain Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1.5 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
2 ripe mashed bananas
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and spray doughnut pan or muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Place all of the ingredients, including the bananas into a blender or large food processor. Blend until oats are smooth and batter is combined. Divide batter into muffin tins or doughnut pan, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
There you have it folks!
A somewhat healthy doughnut.
Hey, I tried.
These look so yummy, and healthy, too! How many doughnuts would you say that this recipe makes? I have a Wilton regular size doughnut pan at home. Definitely going to be making these.

ReplyDeleteMmm, I have a donut pan, but always forget to make donuts.
