Dear Sprinkles,
So happy you liked the Cake-Batter Doughnuts!
I didn’t wanna overwhelm you all with too much info yesterday… especially with your brains being on a sprinkle high and all. Therefore, I saved my icing ideas for a separate post. Starting with a new recipe:
It’s a healthy glazed doughnut!
With g-lazy glaze. Emphasis on the lazy.
G-lazy Glaze
(Completely free of added sugar!)
- 2 tbsp mashed banana (30g)
- 2 tbsp unrefined coconut oil (Read below for fat-free options)
Combine the two ingredients, and melt. (I used a microwave for 14 seconds.) Then stir stir stir… keep stirring for at least a minute, until the watery mess turns thick and paste-y like frosting.
Then spread on the tops of your Healthy Cake Doughnuts.
This makes enough to glaze all six doughnuts… providing you don’t eat half the recipe off the spoon as you ice! You can eat immediately, or stick doughnuts in the fridge if you want glaze to harden. For those of you watching your fat intakes: You can, of course, omit the coconut oil and simply slather some melted banana on your doughnuts! Or maybe replace some or all of the oil with milk? Or, here are some other frosting ideas:
Why not join the dark side, with Chocolate-Fudge Frosting?
This recipe is also sugar-free.
Other frosting ideas:
1. Cheesecake Mousse
2. cinnamon-sugar or powdered sugar
3. Peanut Butter Frosting
4. coconut butter, melted chocolate, pb, jelly, etc.
5. Banana Butter
Or you can use a simple sugar glaze: whip powdered sugar with a little milk and vanilla extract. And, of course, you can always top your doughnut with sprinkles ;).
How would you frost your healthy doughnuts?
As I mentioned yesterday, you can also use Vanilla-Fudge Frosting.
This is really good! I was worried the banana might be overpowering, but the coconut-banana together was deliciously pleasant.
they look so sugary but theyre not! GIVE ME ONE RIGHT NOW!!!
Hi, I was wondering about a substitution for tofu in your “favorite” pie recipe? I can’t eat soy and was trying to think what might mimic the texture and firmness of the tofu? I’d appreciate any feedback, thanks so much! Keep up your wonderful blog, it’s good to know I can still eat things that make me happy while watching my health improve 🙂

This glaze did not work for me at all 🙁 I kept stirring and stirring, and the bananas would just not un-lump. I even through it into my chopper to try to blend it out, with no luck. Had to pour it down the dream. And a jar of unrefined coconut oil was $12 for me! What a shame.
It sounds like you did something wrong. If you put a banana in a blender, there’s no way it won’t pulverize. Of course it will blend! Unless you got a really BAD banana!
I bought a doughnut silicone bakeware that I love! I got it off amazon & the doughnuts just pop out. AND, I just roll it up for easier storage. I feel it’s a bit healthier than the Teflon coated, but I love the ease of storage!! (I also have the mini-muffins, cake, loaf, brownie, etc.).
Hi! I absolutely LOVE your recipes, but there’s just one problem- I hate (emphasis on hate) bananas (I know, I know- I’m crazy). I really want to make this, but is there any way to substitute the bananas? Or do you not taste the bananas?
Hi, just use the glaze on her “healthy krispy kreme” recipe page instead 🙂
