1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use whole wheat pastry flour)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch ground cloves, (optional)
pinch ground allspice, (optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter,, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar,, packed
1/4 cup molasses
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
3 Tablespoons Greek yogurt
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease two 6-count donut pans and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, ground all spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar and molasses until combined, about 1 minute. Add egg and whisk to combine, another minute. Mix in milk and yogurt. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid over mixing. Pour batter into donut tins. The tins will be full. Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until donut springs back when lightly touched.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup butter, melted or butter flavor spray
In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Dip the tops and bottoms of warm donuts into the melted butter (or spray the warm donuts with butter flavor spray, then immediately into the spiced sugar mixture.
