Whole Wheat Lemon Pound Cake Donut Recipe

Donut Batter

1/2 c melted butter
1/4 c sour cream
3/4 c sugar
1/4 100% lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

Donut Glaze

1/4 lemon juice
3/4+ powdered sugar

Directions

1. Whip together butter, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

2.  Add lemon juice and beat in.

3.  Adding one at a time, beat in eggs.

4. Add dry ingredients and beat until smooth.

5.  Pour into greased donut pan. (I was able to make 12 donuts with this recipe.)

6. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes.

7. Meanwhile, make glaze but combining the lemon juice and powdered sugar.  (Add more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze and less to make a thinner glaze.)

8. Let donuts cool and then drizzle with glaze.

That is a pretty easy donut recipe, right?  And with the inclusion of whole wheat flour, lack of frying, and the light amount of glaze drizzled on top, these donuts are much better for you than your run-of-the-mill donut.
