Fluffy Chocolate Donuts

These are the fluffiest fat free donuts you will ever try.  I can promise you that.



Sometimes fat free baked goods are known for being gummy and dense.  No one wants to eat something like that.  It's like eating a brick!

Today I'm proving once and for all that fat free does not mean gummy.  When done right, a fat free donut can be even better than a normal one.  It sounds crazy, but it's true.  Proof = these donuts.


I swear these Chocolate Donuts are just as good, if not better, than anything you can pick up at the chain store down the street.  They're light, they're fluffy, and they're completely delicious, all without one little teaspoon of butter, oil, or margarine.

I don't follow a low fat diet, but I find it pretty incredible.


And these guys are super easy too.  You need two bowls, a spatula, a donut pan and that's all.  No frying required!  In fact, you don't really need a donut pan at all.  A muffin tin will work just fine.

Oh, and one more quick thing.  I decided to be nice this time and not throw in any weirdo ingredients.  That means no beans, no cauliflower, and no tofu.  You may already have everything you need to make these in the house.

I'm honestly not sure why you're still reading this.  Skip right in down to the recipe folks, if you've got any common sense at all.

  6. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues
    of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd certainly appreciate it.

  7. What if I used a mashed banana in place of the applesauce or some olive oil? If either of these would work, lemme know how much to use, I'd reallyyy appreciate it :D

    1. Both would be fine replacements texture wise, but the taste of the banana or olive oil might be noticable in the final product. If you'd like to try it, I would just replace the applesauce with the same amount of banana or olive oil.

  8. Hi, I absolutely love the sound of this recipe and am looking forward to trying it. I was wondering if it would work to substitute the spelt flour for whole wheat flour or any other kind of flour since I don't usually have spelt flour on hand. Thank you!

    1. A different flour is definitely an option, but I would stay away from whole wheat because it tends to make baked goods a little dense. Whole wheat pastry flour, white whole wheat flour, or simply all purpose would probably work a lot better.

      Hope that helps :)

  9. Can the pumpkin puree be swapped out for something else?

  10. We bake a lot. We followed the recipe but used a bigger donut pan and increased the cooking time to compensate. They were very yucky!

  11. These did not work out for us at all!! Very floppy and did not taste good. Are all of the measurements correct? 1 tbsp of baking powder seemed like a lot for one.
