– vegan – refined sugar free – oil free – low fat – low calorie –
Well, I finally got around to making a donut recipe, and man, I wish I had done it sooner. I couldn’t believe how easy and delicious these baked cardamom donuts were. These baked donuts are incredibly fluffy and so moist, with the perfect pop of warm cardamom flavoring and an easy 2-ingredient chocolate glaze. And better yet, they’re vegan, low fat, low calorie and free from refined sugar and oil! How unbelievable is that! Here’s the breakdown of one donut:
- Calories: 188
- Fat: 4.7 g
- Saturated fat: 0.9 g
- Fiber: 3.8 g
- Protein: 5.4 g
Baking essentials:
- A large + small mixing bowl.
- A fine mesh sieve (optional)
- A donut pan. The donut pan I used created 3.25 inch donuts, so I recommend checking the size of your donut pan to adjust the serving size of this recipe as needed. This recipe and this size pan will yield 7-10 donuts.
- A wire cooling rack (optional).
Substitutions for these healthy baked cardamom donuts:
- Whole wheat flour: can be substituted for all-purpose flour. I have not attempted this recipe with any other type of flour, so I can’t attest to how they would work.
- Unsweetened plain soy yogurt: you can substitute with any unsweetened plain or vanilla nondairy yogurt of choice (almond, coconut, etc).
- Pure maple syrup: can be substituted for another liquid sweetener like agave nectar or date syrup.
- Creamy peanut butter: can be substituted for any creamy nut or seed butter without effecting the taste much. For a nut free option, try sunflower seed butter.
