-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 6-cavity doughnut pan with butter and set aside.
-
Whisk to combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in a small bowl.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed and add egg and vanilla, mixing until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add Greek yogurt, mixing until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and continue mixing just until no flour remains, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
-
Transfer batter to a piping bag. Cut bag at a width of about ¾ of an inch and pipe into doughnut pans, distributing batter evenly. Alternatively, spoon batter into cavities and smooth top with a small spatula or butter knife.
-
Transfer pan to oven and bake, rotating halfway through, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into a doughnut, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before inverting doughnuts onto a wire rack set over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely. For a clean look, use a ¾-inch biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter to punch out center of doughnut if desired.
-
Place white chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Bring heavy cream to a brisk simmer over medium-high heat. Pour over white chocolate chips and let sit, 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth. For best application of ganache, transfer to a small bowl before coating doughnuts.
-
Dip doughnuts face down halfway into the glaze and place glazed side up on a wire rack. Dip twice, if desired. Use remaining glaze to color and decorate donuts. Allow to sit until glaze is set, about 30 minutes. Serve.
Congratulations you did it!
