Good Morning! Yay it’s Saturday! This past week was one of the worst work weeks I have had in a while. But it ended on a positive note, which included a raise!

Have I told you how much I love my new donut pan?  Last week, I made Spiced Donuts  and they were sooo good.  And, since I am a chocoholic, I had to find a baked donut recipe made with chocolate.

I know donuts are not on the list of healthy foods, but at least mine are not as unhealthy as a Krispy Crème donut.

Ingredients

Yields 6 donuts

3 PP per donut (without the powdered sugar)

1 cup King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
4 teaspoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons Walden Farms Calorie free Pancake Syrup

Directions

Heat oven to 325

Coat donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In small bowl, whisk milk, sugar, egg, butter, coffee, and vanilla until smooth.

Add milk mixture to flour mixture; whisk until blended and smooth.

Fill each doughnut cup approximately 3/4 full.

Bake at 325 degrees for thirteen minutes or until doughnuts spring back when touched.

Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan. Dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Optional: To make glaze, blend confectioners’ sugar, hot water and extract in a small bowl. Dip doughnuts in the glaze and then dip them in sprinkles.

Or dust them in powdered sugar.

Have a great weekend.
