Servings: 16 donuts
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 ¼ cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Donut Topping Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a regular donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in milk and yogurt. Whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
- Divide the batter among 16 donut cavities, filling ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until firm to the touch or passes the toothpick test (a toothpick inserted comes out clean).
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the donuts from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
- While the donuts finish cooling, melt butter. Combine additional cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
- When cool, brush finished donuts with butter, one at a time. Dip donuts into the cinnamon and sugar mixture immediately following the butter. Continue until all donuts are covered.
