1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup egg beaters or better’n eggs
3/4 cup plain non fat greek yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup milk (I used unsweetened plain almond milk)
Zest of 1 lemon

Glaze:

Lemon juice
Powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together egg beaters, yogurt, milk, applesauce, & lemon zest. Gradually add dry ingredients together with wet ingredients.Pour into a piping bag or a large ziploc. Cut a corner off & pipe into a donut pan that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray.Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Make a glaze with some powdered sugar ; lemon juice. Drizzle glaze on donuts. I juiced a whole lemon & then it took 2 cups of powdered sugar to make it into a glaze. I ended up tossing most of it.
