¼cupunsweetened cocoa powder
1teaspoonbaking powder
⅛teaspoonsalt
1egg
¼cupsugar
3tablespoonsunsweetened applesauce
6tablespoonsunsweetened almond milk
1teaspoonvanilla
1teaspoonred food coloring
2ouncesfat-free cream cheesesoftened
2tablespoonspowdered sugar
2tablespoonsunsweetened almond milk
¼teaspoonvanilla
1gallon-sized resealable plastic bag
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 6-count donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, applesauce, almond milk, vanilla and food coloring until incorporated.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Pour the batter into the gallon-size bag, squeeze out excess air, and zip it shut. Cut about a ½-inch opening at the tip, and evenly fill the prepared donut pan with all of the batter. (The batter comes out fast, so before baking, wipe away any run-off on the pan.)
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing the donuts and cooling fully on a cooling rack.
While the donuts are cooling, whisk the glaze ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
Dip the tops of each cooled donut in the glaze and allow to dry 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
