Whole Wheat Yogurt, Coconut, and Chocolate Doughnut

The whole wheat yogurt, coconut, and chocolate doughnut is an indulgent dessert yet health-conscious due to the use of whole wheat flour. Here is the recipe to make one.

Ingredients

• 200 g of whole wheat flour
• 100 g of all-purpose flour
• 200 g of brown sugar
• 125 g of coconut yogurt
• 60 g of coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
• 100 ml of coconut milk (or regular milk)
• 3 eggs
• 100 g of dark chocolate, chopped or in chips
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 60 g of desiccated coconut
• Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for a citrusy touch)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F) and grease a doughnut pan with some coconut oil or butter then lightly flour it.
2. In a bowl, mix the flours with the baking powder, salt, and desiccated coconut.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the brown sugar until frothy.
4. Add the coconut yogurt, coconut milk, coconut oil, and if desired, the grated lemon zest to the sugar and eggs. Mix well to blend all the ingredients.
5. Fold the flour mixture into the liquid ingredients, mixing gently to avoid lumps.
6. Add the dark chocolate pieces or chips and mix carefully.
7. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes; always do the toothpick test before removing it from the oven.
8. Once baked, let the doughnut cool in the mold for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Curiosity

This doughnut is ideal for breakfast or an afternoon snack, especially for those who love the exotic flavors of coconut combined with the decadence of chocolate. Coconut is not only tasty but also high in fiber and the use of coconut yogurt ensures a particular softness and a light humidity that makes the dessert pleasantly moist.

Enjoy your meal!
