Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour (all Purpose Or Gluten Free Flour Blend)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cups Maple Syrup
  • 2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk (double This Amount For Gluten-Free Version)
  • 1/4 cups Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
  • 1/2 teaspoons Rosemary, Finely Chopped

Method

  • For the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and grease a 6-cavity doughnut pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Set aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, olive oil, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and rosemary.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until combined.
  • Pipe or spoon the doughnut batter into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity almost to the top.
  • You wont use all of it, unless you have a second doughnut pan.
  • I baked these in two batches.
  • Set remaining batter aside.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, until the tops of the doughnuts spring back when touched.
  • Remove pan from oven.
  • Let doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the doughnuts to a cooling rack.
  • Use the remaining batter to fill the doughnut pan to make 6 more doughnuts.
  • Cool the doughnuts on a cooling rack completely.
  • For the sugar crust: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, lemon zest and rosemary.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Dip each cooled doughnut into the olive oil-lemon juice mixture, then immediately dip the doughnut in the sugar mixture, coating the top of each doughnut.
  • Repeat until all the doughnuts have been dipped in the olive oil and sugar.
  • Return them to the cooling rack and let them sit until the sugar topping has hardened, at least 1 hour.
  • Enjoy!
