Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a donut baking tray by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with one corner snipped off, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, fill a piping bag fitted with a small round tip with your choice of raspberry or strawberry jam.
Insert the tip of the piping bag into the side of each donut and fill each one with about a teaspoon of jam.
Dust the tops of the donuts with powdered sugar using a fine sieve. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
