Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 package Fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, low-fat milk, and egg white until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the vanilla pudding filling according to package instructions, using skim milk. Set aside to cool.
Once baked, allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the chocolate glaze, melt the dark chocolate chips and mix with 2 tablespoons of skim milk until smooth and glossy.
Using a small piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut with a small amount of the prepared vanilla pudding.
Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the chocolate glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Enjoy your homemade Low Fat Boston Creme Donuts as a healthier twist on a classic treat!
