We tend to use coconut oil for cooking and baking, as our oil of choice, because of the health benefits that it offers and the fact that it remains stable at high temperatures, unline many other oils, which can go rancid. But since you have an allergy, this is obviously not an option! You could try using butter or even leaving the oil out, and adding in a bit more apple sauce or plain yogurt (1-2 tbsp), which serves as the “oil” in many healthy/low-cal recipes.

Mascarpone cheese is really just a fancy Italian relative of cream cheese, but is just a bit sweeter. So you could substiture cream cheese.

Let me know how it turns out and what substitutions you used!

Good catch!

When I put the recipe the temp & time slipped right by me. I have updated the post and included that info for you. I hope you like them as much we did/do.

Nick – you are correct. They are kind of a cross between a cake doughnut and banana bread. They are dense, more so than your average yeast doughnut. BUT… still oh so delicious. Thanks for your comments and yes, we love to be sneaky with our nutrition.
