Would you consider yourself a donut lover or hater? To me, the smell of a fresh donut is exhilerating.

If you’re not in the group of donut lovers, though, I can guarantee this peach donut recipe will change your mind.

I know there’s a division between a love for a cake donut or yeast donut. But, there’s nothing to argue with this whole wheat donuts recipe.

You’ll just love them as is, especially the peach crumb topping. They are the perfect complement to your morning coffee.

We make the best blueberry donuts recipe often and now these healthy peach donuts are our new summer norm.

When I googled “peach donut,” it was often confused with a “donut peach.” If you don’t know what a donut peach is, this article by Southern Living is quite insightful and explains the juicy donut peach. 

It may be good to know that July and August are donut peaches season if you want to try one of those unique treats yourself.

But, any type of peach from your local grocery store or farmers market works for this peach donut recipe!

Why We Love Peach Crumb Donuts

• Kid Friendly – These healthy baked donuts with whole wheat flour boast extra fiber, though they still retain the fluffy inside. They are kid-friendly, so get your kid their kid’s baking set and let them help! I like exposing the kids to fruit and making it seem like a fun experience through whole grain donuts. 
• Great use of summer peaches – While there’s nothing like eating a juicy summer peach, these peach crumb topping donuts are the best way to bake and enjoy donuts!
• Higher in protein– This is also a high protein donut recipe, considering each donut boasts 7 grams of protein, thanks to the greek yogurt and whole grain flour. The greek yogurt also adds a great moistness and softness to the interior of the donuts. If you want to use greek yogurt more, check out this greek yogurt smoothie roundup. 
• Delicious crumble – This may be my favorite quality of all. The peach crumble on top is to die for on these baked peach donuts, I would just eat it on its own, or add it to yogurt parfaits. So good!
• Healthy treat for the weekends – Do you want to serve donuts to your kids on the weekends but don’t want sugar-filled ones with preservatives? These peach donuts are your solution! They are unique treats that have fruits, fiber and nutrients, but also taste great!

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make these healthy homemade donuts.

• doughnut pan – You definitely need a donut pan for these peach doughnuts – this is my favorite non-stick one, but I also love this silicone donut pan for kids.
• Whole wheat flour – You could use all-purpose flour, but I prefer the whole wheat flour for extra fiber, especially for kiddos.
• Brown sugar – I love brown sugar in donuts.
• Egg – The egg is a binder to help everything stay together.
• Vanilla extract – Adds a little flavor!
• Milk – You can use any choice of milk here. Dairy or soy milk will add more protein.
• Greek yogurt – The greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess. I prefer full fat greek yogurt since that’s what our family uses, but low fat works fine too.
• Diced peaches – Take those fresh summer peaches and dice them up! Canned peaches also work. See the note below about using canned peaches.
• baking powder
• baking soda
• salt

For the healthy peach crumb topping (the best part), you’ll need:

• whole wheat flour (or all purpose)
• brown sugar
• white sugar
• salt
• cinnamon
• butter – You can also use coconut oil in place of the butter for a vegan version.

This easy peach crumb topping (with cinnamon sugar) and is really what sets apart these golden brown peach donuts. You have a warm, delicate whole wheat donut topped with a crispy, sweet topping.

It’s just SO PERFECT. 

How To Make Baked Peach Donuts

You may know I thrive on quick recipes. In fact, most of the recipes on this blog can be made in under 30 minutes because that’s how we roll.

We prioritize good food, but I also understand that there are other pleasurable parts of life to make time for. 

So, you can expect these baked peach donuts to be ready in under 30 minutes.

To make these peach whole wheat donuts, combine your wet ingredients and dry ingredients in separate small bowls and then mix them.

Then, pour the batter into your donut pan and top with the peach crumb topping.

Then, bake for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees until the donuts reach your desired consistency!

I like to let them cool on a wire rack or cooling rack as they continue to set.

Notes and Tips

• To make the donuts vegan, substitute almond milk and a plant-based yogurt, like coconut, soy or cashew milk. I did not test this with a flax egg, but I think it should work. To make a gluten free peach donuts, you can substitute a gluten free flour. To make this recipe gluten-free, you could substitute a gluten free flour.
• Having the butter at room temperature will save you some time when making the crumb topping.
• Save extra diced peaches for the healthy peach crisp topping! Make sure to spread it out evenly and push down so it gets extra crispy in the oven. 
• When pouring batter into the donut plan, aim to fill it about 3/4 full. You’ll still need room for the crumble topping and you want to keep the hole in the middle!
• Though these are high protein donuts, I would still recommend pairing them with another source of protein (egg, more yogurt, smoothie, etc) to get to about 25 grams of protein for a meal.
• You can use canned peaches for this peach donut recipe, so you can make them year-round. If the canned peaches are in a sugar or syrup, I would recommend draining and rinsing them before use.
