Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)
• 0.25 cups sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract to the applesauce mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, skim milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 11

Immediately sprinkle a few sprinkles onto each glazed donut before the glaze sets.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low fat glazed donuts with sprinkles!
