Blueberry Yogurt Cake Doughnuts

You may recall a few weeks ago when I went to a blogger breakfast with a rep from Chobani. Lindsay was so kind to send me some of my favorite flavor afterwards- 0% Blueberry!

Although the Greek yogurt is wonderful enough on its own for breakfast, as a side with lunch, or a mid-morning snack, I have seen countless recipes using the yogurt and wanted to put one to the test. 

It had been awhile since I used my doughnut pan. Shameful of me, I know. I dusted it off and in no time it was filled with batter and stuck in the oven. 

The doughnuts' color wasn't the most appealing, I will admit. But with only about 115 calories each for a doughnut, I'll take it! The oatmeal gives them texture, while the yogurt brings moistness and, of course, the blueberry flavor. Rather than eating them for breakfast, I have found to enjoy them even more as a snack throughout the day. 

I have already Pinned several other recipes using the yogurt and am looking forward to the next one. Pancakes? Muffins? Fruit dips? So many options! But first I have to get through these doughnuts...

Wait...where'd they go?
