Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sugar substitute (like Stevia or other preferred)
- 6 cookies Reduced-fat chocolate sandwich cookies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or coat it with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over mix, as this may result in dense donuts.
Coarsely chop the reduced-fat chocolate sandwich cookies and fold them into the batter, saving a tablespoon for topping.
Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the donuts are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an extra cookies and cream touch, sprinkle the remaining chopped cookies over the donuts while they are still slightly warm.
Serve the donuts immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
