I bought my donut pan a few weeks ago (you can buy one at target for $10) and have been experimenting with recipes ever since! One was a complete fail--it was mushy and awful. The second attempt was better, but they were too dry. This time I got it! One donut comes out to roughly 150 calories (including glaze), whereas a medium-sized donut you could purchase somewhere else can be anywhere between 200 and 400 calories! For the donuts:
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 2 tbsp. of non-fat plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (+ 1 tbsp if batter is too thick) of non-fat milk
- 1/2 of a ripened banana, pureed
- 1/2 tsp each of baking powder and baking soda
- 1-2 tsp of vanilla extract (depending on how much vanilla flavor you desire)
- Preheat over to 350 degrees.
- While the oven is heating up, milk all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. The batter should be smooth.
- Spray your donut pan with non stick cooking spray. Fill each donut center with a spoon about 3/4 full. Be careful!
- Bake for 12-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. I baked mine for 12 minutes and they were perfect!
- Let them cool for a few minutes in a pan and then transfer onto a rack to continue cooling. In the meantime, make your glaze if you choose to use it!
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/8 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp of cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp of non-fat milk
- Mix all ingredients above until smooth and to your desired consistency. Play around with the measurements if you want it thick or thin.
- After the donuts have cooled for awhile, dip or drizzle the donuts in the glaze.
These were light, sweet, and chocolaty! This recipe makes 6 perfect little donuts. Now, go out and buy yourself a donut pan (if you don't already have one) and make these for your friends, family, loved ones, or for yourself on National Donut Day (June 6)!
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
