The weather has been gloomy the last couple of days, and the kids are happily playing (or out at camp), so you get extra blog updates...YIPPEE!
So, I posted today on Facebook that it's National Donut Day. If you read my post, then you'll know that I'm not such a great donut maker. Ok, so I only tried that one time, & it was before our lifestyle change, but once may have been enough for me. Being National Donut Day (How about National Whole Food Day? Huh? Do we have a day? Get back to me if it turns out that we do!), I thought it would be nice to try to, well, celebrate. Alright, you got me. I'm very low on granola & milk. The kids had organic eggs for dinner last night, & they had organic steel cut oats for breakfast yesterday. I needed something else to make them for breakfast, and this seemed like a great reason. Excuse? Inspiration? Yeah...let's go with inspiration.
So, I did a search for a healthier apple fritter recipe. They keep those in the donut cases, so I figured it was close enough! I came up with one for Baked Apple Fritters at Food For the Soul. Being on my phone, I'm unable to link to it. I changed it up, of course. Here is the recipe for my tweaked version of Baked Apple Fritters:
Makes about 24
Preheat oven to 350
1 1/3 c whole wheat flour
2/3 c unbleached white flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 scant tsp sea salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
4 tsp nonGMO canola oil
2 medium apples, diced
3/4 c unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/4 c whole milk
1/2 c raw honey
Cane sugar
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl (both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, & salt). Add apples.
In another bowl, blend wet ingredients (yogurt, milk, & honey).
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the yogurt blend. Mix gently.
On a lightly greased baking sheet, drop about 1/4 cup batter in mounds.
Sprinkle tops with cane sugar, & bake for 12-14 minutes. Enjoy!
