Healthy Doughnuts!

Bradock absolutely loves eating doughnuts. He calls the white powdered doughnuts "camping doughnuts" because that's the only time he gets to enjoy his favorite treat. I decided I wanted to try and make a healthy version so he could enjoy them more often. Well these protein doughnuts turned out even better than we thought. The kids downed 3 doughnuts each. I'm going to play around with some different recipes but so far these are a keeper. 


Baked Cinnamon Apple Protein Doughnuts

INGREDIENTS
1-1/4 cup FlapJacked Cinnamon Apple Protein Pancake Mix
1/2 cup skim milk (or dairy free alternative)
1 large egg
1/4 cup light sour cream (I used plain Greek yogurt)
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce

TOPPING (Optional)
3 tbsp powdered sugar (I used Ideal Confectioner Sugar) 
1 tsp cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine wet ingredients (milk, egg, sour cream and apple sauce). Add pancake mix and mix well until there are no more clumps and let sit 3-5 while you turn oven to 350 degrees. Use a spoon to dollop batter into a greased doughnut pan(s). Batter should fill doughnut pan to the center, but don't cover the center. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple minutes while you mix powdered sugar and cinnamon and place in a large ziploc bag.  Shake each doughnut in the sugar, tap off excess and ENJOY!
