Healthier Chocolate Glazed Donuts


  • Author: Amanda @ Running with Spoons
  • Total Time: 18 mins
  • Yield: 6 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the donuts:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (can also use vanilla)
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
  • Optional: 2 Tbsp. chocolate chips, melted (for a more chocolatey donut)
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

OR…

  • ¾ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 Tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF and lightly grease a standard donut pan.
  2. For the donuts: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until well combined and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, yogurt, coconut oil, melted chocolate, and vanilla. Mix well before adding to flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  3. Use a piping bag or ziplock bag with one corner cut off to pipe the batter into your prepared pan, filling each one about ⅔ full. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until donuts spring back when touched. Allow to cool before applying the glaze.
  4. For the glaze: Combine sugar, milk, and vanilla in a medium sized mixing bowl, stirring until smooth. Feel free to add more sugar (to thicken) or milk (to thin) to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Place a wire rack over a sheet of parchment paper or baking sheet. Dip each donut into the glaze, using a fork to turn it over so that both sides are well coated. Remove from bowl and place on wire rack to set. Repeat until all donuts are coated.
