Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 cup Grated low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sugar substitute
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, egg whites, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the sugar substitute to the wet ingredients and mix until fully dissolved.
Fold the grated low-fat cheddar cheese into the wet mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense donuts.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve your low-fat cheese donuts with a smile and enjoy this healthier twist on a classic treat!
