These Double Chocolate Donuts with Sprinkles are baked not fried-giving them a moist, cake-like texture. Topped with the BEST homemade chocolate glaze and sprinkles which makes them simply irresistible!!

Servings: Makes 12 donuts

GREEN/BLUE/ PURPLE: 3 Smartpoints per donut with homemade chocolate glaze with sprinkles 

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. 

How do I make these Double Chocolate Donuts with Sprinkles?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray two 6-cavity donut pans (regular size)with non stick cooking spray. 

In a large bowl, mix the egg, egg white, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, unsweetened almond milk or skim milk, and unsweetened applesauce , set aside.

Add to the wet ingredients.

Mix until well combined.

Place the batter into a piping bag

or spoon fill the prepared donut cavities 3/4 of the way to allow them to rise.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked.

Let the donuts cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before removing.

For the chocolate glaze: place chocolate, unsalted butter, corn syrup, and skim milk or unsweetened almond milk in a microwavable bowl. 

Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stir after each time, and cook until completely melted and smooth.

Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the chocolate glaze
