 Chocolate Baked Donuts



Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp canola oil
3 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce


Chocolate Glaze:


1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp canola oil
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and coat a donut pan liberally with cooking spray. 
  2. Stir together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the egg, milk, vanilla, oil, and applesauce; stir together for 1 minute. 
  3. Fill each cavity in the pan 1/2 of the way full with batter. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Cool completely. 
  4. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Add the corn syrup and oil and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between. Stir in the vanilla. Dunk each donut into the glaze and allow to set.
