Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup skim milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.333 cup chopped mixed nuts
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, skim milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts tough.
Gently fold in the mixed nuts and dark chocolate chips into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the low-fat chocolate donuts with nuts as a light dessert or snack!
