Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Non-fat milk
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Light olive oil
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon Non-fat milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the non-fat milk, plain Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and light olive oil until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the donuts tough.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off, and fill each cavity of the donut pan about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

For the chocolate glaze, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 9

Add the powdered sugar, light corn syrup, and non-fat milk to the melted chocolate, stirring until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Once the donuts are cool, dip the top of each donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing the excess to drip off before placing it back on the wire rack.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat chocolate glazed donuts!
