For Christmas last year I really wanted a doughnut pan. My boys LOVE doughnuts, and I thought I could put together some relatively healthy recipes for them by baking doughnuts instead of frying them. You can imagine I was pretty stoked to receive this pan (affiliate link) Christmas morning! Baking doughnuts in the pan allows for less prep (no making dough ahead of time!) and allows me to incorporate various fruits into the dough.
This recipe incorporates fresh blueberries and Greek yogurt, both delicious and healthy ingredients.
I did make a glaze for the doughnuts, but that can always be left off.
