• 1 large Egg white
• 1 package Fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Skim milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard donut pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, low-fat milk, and egg white until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.

Step 7

While the donuts are baking, prepare the vanilla pudding filling according to package instructions, using skim milk. Set aside to cool.

Step 8

Once baked, allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the chocolate glaze, melt the dark chocolate chips and mix with 2 tablespoons of skim milk until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Using a small piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut with a small amount of the prepared vanilla pudding.

Step 11

Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the chocolate glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
