I discovered a recipe recently for donuts that are baked in the oven, rather than fried, and I'll admit I did a merry little dance of joy. I was slightly doubtful at first as normally these things that promise to be a low cal version of something yummy are normally a complete let down, but I have to say they are scrum, and have had great nods of approval from all who've tried them so far!
The original recipe I got from a vegan blog I follow on twitter @ohsheglows, www.ohsheglows.com but I'm not vegan so I substituted a few of her ingredients,as She suggests, to come up with a very easy batter mix which makes a divine little munch.
You do need a doughnut pan to make these, but I picked up my 6 mini donut silicon pan for about £4 a few years ago so they are not pricey! Finally, I had found a use for this mould!!
ok, the recipe is:
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1 medium egg
1/2 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp Flora Cuisine (or 3 tablespoons melted butter/marge)
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl to make a batter, and rest for 5 minutes. Grease your donut tray (I use a light oil mister for this) and spoon batter into each ring until level with the little mound in the middle (see pic above).
Bake for approx 12 mins in an oven at 160'c until springy to touch but not browning, and tip out onto a cooling rack (carefully) to cool.Then you can ice and add sprinkles of your choice:
I have also made chocolate ones by adding 2 tbsp cocoa powder, and omitting the cinnamon, and then I iced them with Nutella and sprinkles! Also yum scrum!
