maple sweet potato doughnuts

i finally did it.
i bought a doughnut pan.
i am not even that into doughnuts!
but cake doughnuts are a different story.
and when i discovered these maple sweet potato doughnuts,
i knew it was time. best ever. go get a pan. thank me later!
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!

  11. I have been looking for canned pureed sweet potatoes and can't find them! Where did you buy them? Funny question, I know!

    1. no that's a great question! i think we've found it at whole foods before! if not, you can always buy sweet potatoes and purée them yourself..but more work!
