Ingredients
  

For the Donut Rings:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1/4 cup almond milk (or your choice of regular milk)

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Frozen Yogurt Topping:

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose vanilla or plain)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: Fresh fruits such as berries or bananas for garnish

For the Granola Coating:

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a donut pan by lightly greasing it with non-stick spray or using silicone molds for easy removal.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until everything is just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the donut's texture.

          Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. For a cleaner application, consider using a piping bag.

            Bake the Donuts: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. After baking, let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare the Frozen Yogurt: While the donuts are cooling, prepare the frozen yogurt. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.

                Assemble the Donuts: Once the frozen yogurt is set and the donuts are fully cooled, remove the yogurt from the freezer. Scoop a generous amount of the frozen yogurt onto each donut and spread it evenly over the surface.

                  Add Granola Coating: While the yogurt is still soft, sprinkle granola, chopped nuts, and chia seeds on top, pressing down lightly to ensure they adhere.

                    Final Freeze: Place the topped donuts back in the freezer for about 1 hour to let the yogurt harden completely, creating a deliciously firm topping.

                      Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the donuts from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for a softer bite. If desired, top with fresh fruits before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

                        Prep Time: 20 min | Total Time: 3 hours (including freezing time) | Servings: 12 servings

                          - Serving Suggestion: For an appealing presentation, arrange the donut rings on a decorative platter and garnish with an assortment of fresh fruits, adding a splash of color and freshness to the dish.
