Lower Calorie Baked Vanilla Donuts

Baked, not fried, and lightly glazed for a hit of sweetness, these donuts are a sweet treat with fewer calories.

Makes 6

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes

  • Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

120grams plain flour

70g sugar

1 tsp baking powder

30g salted butter, lightly melted

1 egg

100ml skim milk

1 tsp vanilla extract


For the glaze: 60g icing sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 or 2 Tbsp milk


Method

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a donut mold (or use a silicon mold).


Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.


In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract.


Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix together until the ingredients are well-combined. Spoon the batter into the mold until each is just under level.


Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool the donuts on a wire rack.


In the meantime, mix the icing sugar, vanilla extract and salt together. Add 1 Tbsp of milk and whisk to combine. Add additional milk, bit by bit, until the glaze is at your preferred consistency.

Dip the room temperature donuts in the glaze. Return them the wire rack to set. Set a plate underneath the rack to catch any drips.


Wait half an hour and then eat.
