Baked Key Lime Pie Donuts

Baked donuts are made with a touch of key lime, then topped with a sweet key lime glaze and graham cracker crumbs for that key lime pie touch.

Ingredients

Donuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
6 ounces plain Greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon key lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup key lime juice
crushed graham crackers

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a donut pan.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg, then mix in the yogurt, oil, milk, key lime juice and lime zest. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until moistened.

Transfer the mixture to a large ziptop bag. Cut off the corner and use the bag to pipe the mixture into the donut pan, filling each donut about half full. Bake until the donut springs back when lightly touched, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.

To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and key lime juice. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, then dip into the graham cracker crumbs.
