Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut tin with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, granulated sweetener, and baking powder. Stir to mix evenly.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce into the bowl. Mix gently until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
Divide the dough evenly into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
Flatten each dough ball slightly in your palm, then press a small indent in the center. Place 1/2 teaspoon of low-sugar strawberry jam into the indent. Carefully pinch the edges of the dough around the jam, sealing it in and rolling it back into a smooth ball.
Place each filled dough ball into the prepared donut tin, ensuring the seam side is down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and cooked through.
While the donuts are baking, mix the ground cinnamon with the extra granulated sweetener (if using) in a small bowl.
Once the donuts are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5 minutes. Spray them lightly with cooking spray and roll them in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture for a classic sugared coating.
Serve warm and enjoy your Weight Watchers Jam Donuts!
