Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Plain low-fat yogurt
• 0.5 cup Skim milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a donut pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then add the yogurt, skim milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.

Step 7

While the donuts are baking, prepare the cream filling by beating the low-fat cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Add the powdered sugar and the additional vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 9

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the donuts are cool, transfer the cream filling into a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle.

Step 11

Fill each donut by inserting the nozzle into the side and gently squeezing until a small amount of the cream fills the center of the donut.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
