Ingredients

• FOR CRUMB:
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt (can use full-fat or Greek)
• 1/2 cup creme brulee coffee creamer (liquid)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Dash nutmeg
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 Tbsp cold butter, cut into chunks
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Liberally grease a 6-cavity donut pan with cooking spray; set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until blended. Add in the egg, vanilla, and yogurt to combine.
2.In a medium bowl, sift together the salt, spices, powder, soda and flour. Alternately add in the flour (about 1 cup) and the creme brulee coffee creamer to the butter mixture until the batter comes together; it will be thick.
3.Spoon the batter into a gallon-sized Ziploc; seal out the air and snip off a corner of the bag. Pipe the batter about ⅔ full.
4.In a small bowl, cut together the crumb ingredients until small clumps form. Sprinkle a little of the crumb mixture on top of the batter in each cavity.
5.Bake for approx. 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are set. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan, about 5 minutes, before turning over to a wire rack. Allow the donuts to continue to cool completely before serving. Makes about 10 donuts.
