Guilt free Chocolate Glazed Baked Mini Doughnuts made right from home that’s easy to make and sure to impress!
The first Friday of June is National Doughnut Day and when is there a better day to celebrate? How about a guilt-free doughnut you can have any day of the year that’s low in fat, cholesterol-free, a 5 easy-step recipe AND can be ready from start to finish in under 25 minutes.* Now that’s worth trying!
As we all know, doughnuts come in a variety of flavors, stuffed and topped with or without cream and sprinkles and can come as a closed (stuffed) doughnut, original or the infamous munchkin. The array is practically endless and yet I somehow only have two favorites, the classic glazed chocolate doughnut and plain doughnut with chocolate glaze. The photos show my favorite flavor and colors of pink, silver and anything metallic.
From minimal amount of ingredients, quick preparation and let’s not forget a much healthier version, this recipe is a must try. Brought these minis to work and people all over the building were trying to get their hands on them. One person even asked, “Are these the doughnuts everyone keeps raving about?” Now that’s a good feeling especially when they tell you they like yours more than Dunkin Donuts®.
After you bake yours, glaze it with your favorite flavor, top it with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even coconut. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! ENJOY
