Servings: 12
Ingredients
Wet:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup add 1 tbsp sugar for sweeter
- 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 tbsp more if using whole grain flours
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup water or non dairy milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, optional
Dry:
- 1 1/2 cup flour I use all purpose or a combination of all purpose and whole wheat pastry/white whole wheat flour, 1 :1 or 2:1 ratio
- 1 tbsp starch (cornstarch or arrowroot starch)
- 1.5 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp turmeric for color optional
- zest of 1/2 to 1 lemon depending on the size of the lemon and your preference of lemonyness
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Mix the wet ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
- Add the 1 1/4 cup flour and the rest of the dry ingredients and whisk well to make a smooth batter. Add rest of the flour 1 tbsp at a time to make a smooth flowy batter, but not overly watery or overly stiff. You might not need all of the flour if using whole grain flour.
- Pour the batter into a greased donut pan. Even it out using a spatula.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then remove the donuts. (bake for 12 mins for mini muffins, 22 mins for regular size muffins).
- You can use the cream cheese frosting from my lemon cake on these donuts or use a simple sugar icing (half cup of powdered sugar with a tsp or so lemon juice, whisk until icing consistency)
- Dip the donuts in the prepared icing or frosting. Sprinkle more poppy seeds on the top.
