Vanilla-Lavender Mini Donuts

Directions

Ingredients :

4 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup Sugar In The Raw®

½ cup Stevia In The Raw®

10 tablespoons butter

melted

4 large eggs

1 ½ cups low-fat milk

1 tablespoon vanilla

½ cup milk

1 tablespoon fresh or dried lavender buds

plus more for garnish

2 cups powdered sugar

sifted

½ cup Stevia In The Raw®

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Methods :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a mini donut pan. In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a second large bowl whisk together Sugar In The Raw®, Stevia In The Raw®, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until sugar is dissolved. Fold flour into milk mixture until combined.

Add two teaspoons of dough to each donut cup. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan.

In a small saucepan bring milk to a simmer, add lavender, cover, remove from the heat, and let sit 15 minutes. Strain milk and discard lavender. In a medium bowl whisk 2 tablespoons lavender milk into powdered sugar and Stevia In The Raw®, then whisk in lemon juice. If needed, add a little more lavender milk to reach desired consistency.

Dip the top of each doughnut in the glaze and place on a rack. While still wet, sprinkle with lavender and let set.
