Low Fat Matthews Chocolate Doughnuts Recipe
Ingredients
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably dutch-process
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cups nonfat plain yogurt, or buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, glaze,
1 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
teaspoon pure vanilla extract teaspoons low-fat milk (up to 3) teaspoon pure vanilla extract teaspoons low-fat milk (up to 3)
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Thoroughly coat the molds of 2 mini-Bundt pans with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
Sprinkle molds evenly with 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, shaking out excess.
If you only have one pan, bake the recipe in 2 batches.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, whisk egg and egg white until frothy
Add brown sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar; whisk until smooth
Add yogurt or buttermilk, oil and vanilla and whisk until blended.
Add the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula just until moistened.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter into each prepared mold, smoothing the surfaces with a small spoon.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly.
Loosen edges and turn the doughnuts out onto a wire rack to cool.
If baking in 2 batches, cool the pan, clean it, then recoat it with cooking spray or oil and sugar.
:TO MAKE GLAZE:
In a bowl, whisk confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough of the milk to make a smooth, thick glaze.
When the doughnuts are completely cool, set them, fluted-side up, on a wire rack over wax paper.
Spoon some glaze over each doughnut, letting it drip down the sides.
Alternatively, dip the doughnuts in glaze.
Let stand until glaze has set.
Makes 1 dozen doughnuts.
