five. Going on a mini vacation and then coming back to 8 dozen cupcakes that need made and frosted in one day isn’t as much fun as you would think:-) Ok, I’m sure fun didn’t even cross your mind!!! A friend of ours asked me to make cupcakes for his wife’s surprise party. A small part of me almost said no because of the time frame of us being gone up until the day before, but I’m glad the bigger part of me said yes. If I can bake all sorts of decadent and fun desserts for the internet world who I can’t see, I definitely need to make yummy stuff for those who are around me weekly! It sure is a good thing that 100 cupcakes in one day is totally doable!!!! I was feeling the stress of it though!!! Glad that’s over!!!
Healthier baked donuts using mango, applesauce, and yogurt.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the applesauce, yogurt, milk, salt, and vanilla and cream. Sift together the baking powder, baking soda, and flour and slowly add to creamed mixture. Stir in coconut by hand.
- Spoon the batter into a large ziplock bag and cut one of the corners off. Pipe into a donut pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake at 375* for 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 3-4 minutes before removing from the pan. Let cool on wire rack completely.
- Whisk together the the powdered sugar and coconut milk. Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze and top with sprinkles. Let glaze set before eating.

I just posted peach/nectarine & white choc donuts a few days ago and I love love love anything mango. Had I had ripe mangoes on my counter rather than ripe peaches/nectarines, would have definitely made these! Good for you for saying yes even though it was hard, no doubt, b/c as you said, cooking for people in the flesh trumps the internet world (although we appreciate you!)
I agree baking for real people totally trumps the blog:-) Your donuts were amazing too!!!
Look at all the color! Love the photos and can’t wait to make these!
Oh these look fabulous! I haven’t pulled out my donut pan in way too long! I thing I need to fix that. Soon!
The donut pan is truly the best invention! Mango coconut donuts is the NEXT best invention! Glad you made these!
Yup, one of the best inventions ever…for sure:-)
OMG, look at these! They look awesome, Jocelyn. So fruity and tropical–you definitely won my heart over with the triple threat of coconut, donuts and SPRINKLES! Beautiful too! And you know what else? I think we’re twins. No, seriously. When you “admitted” you talked to yourself, I was like, ‘whoa, finally someone’s like me!’ and now you confess you write things out? I do it ALL the time too! My boyfriend notices all the time, so he’ll ask me “what are you writing now?” and I’ll get all bashful about it. Usually, for me, it’s more of words that just stick out–they usually don’t have real meaning, but if he says something like “this Saturday, want to go to the park?” I’ll start writing ‘Saturday’ or something–most of the time in cursive–on my leg. So odd!
look delicious mini donuts
Self-control? What’s that? Donut pans are the absolute best invention ever. As was spanx.
4) the bugs are driving me NUTS!! Seriously Jocelyn, I get earn alive each time I go outside. They taste all the sugar!
I love these donuts!! obviously all those sprinkles are calling my name. And mangoes are my favorite. You made these for me, right?!
It almost makes me want to give up sugar…almost:-) And yup, come on over and I will share the donuts with you!!!
These are beautiful but most important – super unique!
I’ve never baked with mango, and never eaten mango donuts
Oh wow, coconut and mango are two of my very favourite flavours – pairing them together in doughnut form is genius! Definitely pinning these on to my bake list!
It is a great combo isn’t it? Thanks for the pin:-)
I have made like 4 recipes this month with mango and coconut. It’s my new favorite combo, these look amazing!
Thanks girl! I can’t wait to see what you made!!!
I would never eat these.
Hey at least you use apple sauce and yogurt in them!! That means they’re healthy in my mind, ha. I should really embrace my natural curls more often, the only problem, my hair is long and it gets tangled super easy; and being a curly haired gal yourself, you know that brushing (once all done) is a no-no.
Mango and coconut are like two of my favorite things ever! And added to a donut…well, that’s just about perfection! These look AWESOME!
Two of my favorites too! Thanks!!!
These look divine, I love the flavor combo! I need to get a donut pan like yesterday, lol. Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday
These look so amazing – better than a donut shop! I just bought my first donut pan last week. I’m pretty excited about it
Ok THese might sound BETTER than my Pina Colada Donuts. I LOVE mango & wish I lived in Hawaii so I could eat them for cheap everyday, but alas I live in Alaska & good Mango’s are hard to come by:(
Thaks for mentioning my Pina Colada donuts too:)
These look delicious!! I would love for you to link up to Tasty Thursdays at The Mandatory Mooch. The party is still open until Sunday night. http://www.mandatorymooch.blogspot.com/2012/08/tasty-thursday-4.html
Thanks, Nichi
These look off the wall Yummy!!! Thank you for sharing on Thursday’s Treasures Week 47. Looking forward to more amazing recipes! <3 and hugs! http://www.recipesformyboys.com/2012/08/thursdays-treasures-week-47.html
These donuts look great! Thanks for sharing at Saturday Show and Tell. I hope you be back this week with more great stuff!

I’m drooling over these donuts! YUM
haha! Glad I could make you drool:-)
Hey sorry it took awhile for my reply! I just now went to my new email account and saw your question! I think I wouldn’t eat them because they look too sweet with the sprinkes, the icing, and then the mango. I think a coconut donut is good. Anyways…I hope I didn’t sound like a party pooper. I’m just trying to give some kind of comment–I think they’re all good for you, good or bad, right?
