Yield:
20 mini doughnuts

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup vanilla low-fat yogurt

  • ¼ cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed

  • 2 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • 2 teaspoon sprinkles or nonpareils

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a mini doughnut pan with cooking spray;* set aside.

  2. In a large bowl stir together flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, yogurt, egg, oil, and vanilla. Add yogurt mixture all at once to flour mixture, stirring until smooth.

  3. Spoon batter into a large resealable plastic bag. Cut off one corner of the bag; squeeze batter into the prepared indents in doughnut pan, filling each about two-thirds full. Smooth tops. Bake about 10 minutes or until doughnuts are nearly firm when lightly pressed. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 3 minutes. Remove doughnuts from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

  4. For icing, in a small bowl stir together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and milk until smooth. Dip cooled doughnuts into icing, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Return doughnuts to wire rack. Top with sprinkles.

*Tip:

If necessary, bake doughnuts in two batches, washing pan and coating again with nonstick cooking spray before adding the remaining batter.
