Healthy Baked Chocolate Doughnuts

Did you know that you can actually use the word “doughnut” or “donut” and both are technically correct? It’s one of those things that I just never thought to look up but after creating this recipe, I had to take to google to get the answer. What did we do before technology?

Anyway, these healthy baked chocolate doughnuts are only 75 calories and are so fudgy and dare I say… “moist”. They’re really easy to make and if you don’t have the ingredients I used, you can substitute what you do have on hand to make these your own. I included notes on substitutions for you.

I topped my doughnuts with Lily’s stevia sweetened chocolate chips, Color Kitchen Naturally Colored Sprinkles and Let’s Do Organic Reduced Fat Shredded Coconut but feel free to get creative!

  3. In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, mashed banana, melted butter and vanilla until well combined.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

  5. Pour batter into doughnut pan until mold is ~2/3 full.

  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the donuts are firm. Remove from oven.

  7. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before removing doughnuts from pan and allowing them to cool completely.

  8. To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a bowl and whisk until smooth

  9. Once doughnuts have cooled, dip tops of doughnuts into the glaze. Let the extra glaze drip back into the bowl. Top with sprinkles or other toppings if desired.
