maple sweet potato doughnuts

ingredients

1 {15 ounce} can puréed sweet potatoes

1 egg

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons greek yogurt 

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2/3 cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

..for the glaze..

1 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 cup powdered sugar

directions

first, spray the donut pan well with cooking spray. preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

open the can of puréed sweet potatoes {you can drain any liquid in the can} and add to a medium size mixing bowl. add in the egg, maple syrup, greek yogurt, and vanilla and beat until well combined. in another small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon.

add the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring just until they are combined.

carefully pour/ spoon the batter into the donut pan. bake for 11 minutes.

make sure to let them cool and set for a few more minutes once you take them out.

while the donuts bake, mix up the yummy glaze!

in a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter + maple syrup together, whisking to combine once they begin to melt. add in the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.

once the donuts have cooled a little bit, spoon the glaze on or dip the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze. make sure to do it before it hardens and sets.

enjoy!
