Just in time for dinner!
These are my families all time favorites, and they have been revamped until I was able to lower the calories by at least 100 kcals!
Baked not fried!
This is where it starts, and I give you plenty of calorie reducing substitutions along the way.
Here are some items that can help you:
These donuts were hand scooped and shaped, but can also be baked in a donut pan.
You can also add powdered sugar to these sweet babies!
Let’s get started!
Baked donut balls
These super light and fluffy donuts balls are baked, not fried. They are similar to a french bugne donut, yet much easier!
Wet Ingredients
- ½ Cup Grape Seed Oil (For a lighter donut, add ½cup of applesauce)
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (*Optional, but yummy!)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Sugar (*You can cut the sugar in half for a lighter donut, and use a sugar substitute)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- ¼ Cup Sugar (*make more if you bake lots of donuts)
- 2 tbsp Cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350°
Mix all of your wet ingredients together in one bowl. Mix Well
Mix all of your dry ingredients together in another bowl.
Combine your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients a little at a time, until everything is well combined.
Using a spoon, scoop about a tablespoon of batter of dough onto your lined cookie sheet.
You can also roll balls of dough into a ball, using floured hands so they will not stick. line them on the pan.
Bake for 10 minutes until a fork or skewer comes out clean.
They should be nice and golden.
While your donuts bake, prepare your cinnamon sugar mix
Roll in Cinnamon Sugar
Once the donut balls come out of the oven, transfer to the Cinnamon Sugar mix, roll, or shake in a bag.
Lay them on a cooling rack
Enjoy!
Calorie intake will depend on the ingredients you use.
THese are based off the substitutions that I added. Baked regularly, the calories would range about 100 depending on the size of the ball.
Everyone’s donut sizes will vary.
