Ingredients
2tbs buttermelted
¾cupsugar
1cupvanilla Greek yogurt
1teaspoonvanilla
½teaspoonsea salt
1egg
1egg white
1tbslemon zest
1 ¾cupsflour
1teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonbaking soda
Lemon Icing
1cupconfectioners sugar
2tbsfresh lemon juice
***optional*** sprinkles to top donuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil donut pans (I used two 6-cavity pans)
Cream the melted butter and sugar together, Add Greek yogurt, vanilla, sea salt, egg and white, and lemon zest. Mix well.
In another bowl, mix the baking powder and baking soda into the flour, then add to wet mix and stir well.
Carefully dollop and spread out batter into the donut shaped cavities of pan. These puff up a lot, so do try and distribute between all 12 cavities, 11 will do if need be but no less. I did not pipe the batter, but it would make the process easier.
Bake for 11-13 minutes.
Cool on rack. Once fully cool, mix together the simple lemon icing and spread on each donut. If you want to use sprinkles add them as you go along so they will adhere well.
Allow the donuts a few minutes for glaze to set before serving.
