Baked Whole Wheat Jelly Doughnut or Sufganiyot Recipe

With Hanukkah coming up in two days, you would expect a traditional Sufganiyot (the Jewish doughnuts) will have a place of honor on the blog. The thing is I really can’t stand deep fried food. It’s not about the calories or the huge amounts of fat, it’s just (and I know I sound a million years old) it gives me heartburn.Tradition is tradition, and I couldn’t let Hanukkah pass with not even one holiday recipe. So this year I made these delicious, healthy, and baked doughnuts. I love it when I can just take a recipe and fix it up to my taste, especially if it becomes healthier.The dough is made with yeast, that is you will have to knead it for a good 8-10 minutes. Again I’m not that crazy about doughnuts, but when I gave it a test bit it was delicious, and definitely worth the effort of kneading.If you do care about the calories bare in mind that these babies have only 99 calories per doughnut, without the filling of course. I wish everybody a very happy holiday. These baked whole wheat doughnuts are perfect for an healthy holiday. I know I’ll be making them again!
