This is the Best Baked Donut Recipe I have ever had! They are made with Greek yogurt which makes them light, and moist. Chocolate ganache and sprinkles on top are a must!

Have you ever made homemade donuts? I love making these baked donuts with my kids, and now that I have found a way to make them a little healthier using Greek yogurt, I don’t feel so bad about letting them indulge every now and then. These only take about 25 minutes from start to finish, so why not try them this week?
While I was writing this post for you today, I was drinking a cup of coffee wishing I could grab a donut right off the screen. My poor coffee seemed so lonely without one. Good thing these come together so quickly. No cup of coffee has an excuse to be lonely when it’s this quick and easy to have warm homemade donuts!
Add some red, white, and blue sprinkles to make these patriotic and perfect for the 4th of July! Or use red and green for Christmas. Orange and black for Halloween. Ok, you get it. They are easy to decorate for any holiday…or a random Wednesday.
These are also fabulous dipped in melted butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar, instead of the ganache. That’s our other favorite ways to eat these!

Those look fantastic can’t wait to try them!

These look amazing!!! Can you make these without a donut pan? And can you substitute regular plain yogurt or sour cream instead of Greek yogurt?
Stephanie Brubaker says
You could use mini muffin tin! And yes, regular yogurt or sour cream would work too. Enjoy!

I just made the dough and it’s really thick…not pourable at all. Is it supposed to be that way? I had to dollop the donut mix in the pan by teaspoons full.

Thank you for the recipe. It is very kind of you to share.
As someone else noted, the batter is rather thick, the ratio of dry to wet ingredients seems off. I had to add at least a cup of milk to mix the dry ingredients.
Greek Yoghurt is normally as thick as whipped cream, so that doesn’t help loosen the mix at all. Perhaps the type you use is watery?
Is there a chance that the quantity on one of the ingredients was transferred wrongly?
Once the milk was added, an extra two teaspoons of Baking powder, we had a fair result.
Once again thank you for sharing.

The recipe is correct, The donut batter is thick and sticky, but that is normal! 🙂
