They may taste sinfully delicious but they’re made with heart-healthy whole grain and gluten-free flours, non-fat Greek yogurt (obviously), as little sugar as possible (two tablespoons-just enough to help the medicine go down) and semisweet chocolate chips for a little antioxidant boost. Can I get a woot woot for cacao?

Chocolate Icing

Makes 6 donuts

*Oats are naturally gluten-free but due to processing contamination, make sure you are buying gluten-free oats if you are allergic to gluten.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and then grease the donut pan and set aside.

Next, combine the flours, salt and baking powder in a medium size bowl and sift together. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, Chobani yogurt, melted Earth Balance, vanilla extract and almond milk then stir well to combine.

While donuts are cooling, melt 1 cup chocolate chips with two tablespoons sunflower butter in the microwave for 30 second increments so that is doesn’t burn.

Coat one side of each donut in chocolate…

And then devour politely consume like a starved beast lady.

By the way, if you prefer the chocolate coating to be hard (a.k.a. you don’t want to look like a 3 year-old running around in the candy store), simply refrigerate for 30 minutes before eating.

Also, this chocolate icing is pretty thick so if you prefer something thinner (more like a glaze) then you may want to add a little milk to the chocolate to help lighten it a bit.
