Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Skim milk
• 1 package Non-fat instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Skim milk for pudding
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Low-fat milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another large bowl, mix the applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and skim milk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full with the batter. An easy way to do this is by using a piping bag or a spoon.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 7

Prepare the filling by whisking the non-fat instant vanilla pudding mix with the skim milk. Refrigerate until set.

Step 8

Once the donuts are cool, fill a piping bag with the set vanilla pudding. Using a small nozzle, carefully insert the tip into the side of each donut and fill with pudding.

Step 9

For the chocolate glaze, melt the dark chocolate chips with the low-fat milk in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 10

Dip the top of each filled donut into the melted chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 11

Place the glazed donuts onto a wire rack to allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your healthier treat!
