Makes 12 donuts

What ingredients do I need to make these Double Chocolate Donuts with Sprinkles?

• All-purpose flour
• Zero point white granulated sugar substitute– I use Lakanto Monkfruit Baking Sweetener  
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Vanilla extract
• Baking powder
• Baking Soda
• Nutmeg-takes these donuts to the next level; however you can omit the nutmeg if you don’t like it.
• Salt
• Unsweetened almond milk or skim milk- the overall point value is the same either way.
• Egg/Egg white- at room temperature. The donut batter mixes better and they will rise more easily if the eggs are at room temperature. 
• Unsweetened applesauce sauce-used as a substitute for oil
• Sprinkles 

What ingredients do I need for the homemade chocolate glaze?

This is a homemade chocolate glaze that I use for a few of my baked goodies-NOW-before you read the ingredients and think WHAT?? How can this glaze be WW friendly? Trust me when I say…it’s worth the points- this chocolate glaze takes these to a whole NEW LEVEL and only makes these donuts 3 Smartpoints (per donut)-I’m telling you- NO ONE will believe that these donuts are WW friendly! 

You will need:

• Regular milk chocolate chips – I love Toll House milk chocolate chips. Any brand will work though. 
• Unsalted regular butter- I use Kroger brand unsalted butter. Any brand will work and are very similar in point values 
• Corn syrup – this gives the glaze that soft and smooth texture-prevents crystallization of sugar and enhances flavor!
• Skim milk or unsweetened almond milk – helps thin out the glaze

 

Now..if you wanted to omit the chocolate glaze all together they would be 2 Smartpoints per donut.

What donut pan do you recommend for these?

 This recipe makes a total of 12 donuts. You will use two 6-cavity donut pans.

You can find the donut pans HERE on Amazon. If you don’t have a donut pan- the donuts can also be made in a muffin tin.
