FOR THE DOUGHNUTS:
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 cups Light Coconut Milk
3 Tablespoons Light Sour Cream
6 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 cups Sugar
1 whole Egg
1 whole Limes, Zested
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
FOR THE ICING:
1 whole Lime, Zested
2 whole Limes, Juiced
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1/4 cups Milk

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Spray doughnut pans with cooking spray, set aside.
2
In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together, and set aside. In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and sour cream, and set that bowl aside.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the butter and sugar; beat on medium for 2 minutes to until mixture is pale in color and fluffy. Add in the egg, lime zest, and poppy seeds, and beat for 1 minute to combine. Add in 1/3 of the flour, then half the milk, 1/3 flour, the rest of the milk, and then the rest of the flour. Beat after each addition, making sure not to overmix though!
4
Spoon batter into donut pans, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until doughnuts are a light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool in pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
5
For the icing:
6
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth. You want the glaze to be a little thick so that it stays on the doughnuts, but if it's too think just add a little more milk. Dunk the tops of the doughnuts in the glaze and return to the cooling rack to let the glaze dry. Dunk the doughnuts a second time to form a thick glaze coating. Then scarf!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
