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!)
- 2Â tbsp mashed banana (30g)
- 2Â 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.
I have yet to try a healthy donut recipe but these are super tempting! I don’t have a donut pan so I guess I’m just imagining a huge mess… But that’s part of the fun, right?
Haha yes! And you can lick your fingers!
I have never been a doughnut fan because they are usually greasy and sugary but these look cakey and amazing and that frosting is genius!! Love your recipes 🙂
ooh, i would frost mine with chocolate coconut butter. i love that stuff!
Omg these are amazing!!! I’m such a sucker for donuts, I was literally telling my bf the other day how I wanted to go to Krispy Kreme for a warm glazed donut. Yummm
Glaze-y! I love it! Looks so simple and delish 🙂
What cute little donuts! And that frosting is genius! I have a mini-doughnut pan, so I should totally get on that!
that looks SOOOO good!
the frosting is absolutely genius! Something i need to try!
Wowww, they look delicious! The healthy glaze sounds amazing.
I was wondering though, do you blur your photos instead of using aperture?
Hey Vicki!
I sometimes do use the aperture priority… but sadly I don’t seem to be very good at teaching myself photography. I’ve heard that a good photograph is one where you don’t need to edit it much at all, and this isn’t the case with my photos. I ALWAYS have to fix the tone, color balance, and sharpness. I’d really like to find a real photographer (or someone who knows what he/she is doing!) to give me some pointers in the right direction!
(Sorry to ramble! In short: I sometimes get that blurred look with the camera, alone. But usually, it’s thanks to photoshop, which is the case in these two photos today.)
I would frost them with cream cheese, butter, powered sugar and a cream based glaze. That would take the healthy right out, huh 🙂
Seriously love the sugar free recipes and healthy factor…I just, well, love my sugar. haha!
i can’t even get over the brilliance of these recipes you come up with! i want to try them ALL!
