Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a doughnut pan or spray with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the chocolate glaze, whisk together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons skim milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the glaze mixture for about 30 seconds on medium power, then stir until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the glaze is smooth.
Dip the tops of each cooled doughnut into the warm chocolate glaze and return to the wire rack to set.
Enjoy your low-fat chocolate glazed doughnuts as a healthier treat any time of the day!
