Ingredients

  

• 2 Tbsp egg whites I use from the carton
• 2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1/3 cup milk I used 1%
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 cups flour
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 tsp lemon zest
• 5 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 Tbsp icing sugar confectionery sugar
• Extra lemon juice for icing

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350F, spray a 6 hole regular sized donut pan with some non stick spray.
• In a bowl mix your egg whites, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, milk and vanilla.
• Stir in your flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and 2 Tbsp of your coconut (leave rest aside for topping)
• Mix well and divide batter into your donut pan.
• Bake in oven for 14-16 minutes untill donuts seem golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool, meanwhile mix your icing sugar with a little fresh squeezed lemon juice, you should only need about 1/2 Tbsp of juice , spread out on a flat surface (I used a small square plate) sprinkle your remaining coconut on another flat surface or plate.
• Remove donuts from pan, lightly press in the icing mixture then the coconut, you should have enough to cover all 6 donuts, you don't need much and if you need a little more icing/lemon mix then add a little more to your plate, you don't want to soak your donuts in it though.
