This Chocolate Baked Donut recipe offers a quick and healthier way to satisfy your chocolate cravings using a simple chocolate cake mix and applesauce. These moist and delicious donuts are baked to perfection, making them a great treat with less fat than traditional fried donuts.

  • Total Time: 13-15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts

Ingredients

Donut Batter

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 15 oz. applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the donuts bake evenly and develop a nice texture.
  2. Prepare Donut Pan: Grease the donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and help the donuts release easily after baking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the entire box of chocolate cake mix with 15 ounces of applesauce until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Fill Donut Cavities: Spoon the batter into each donut mold cavity, filling them about halfway to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake Donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back lightly when touched, indicating they are fully cooked.

Notes

  • You can substitute applesauce with mashed bananas for a different flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the donut pan is well greased to avoid sticking issues.
  • Baked donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a simple glaze can enhance the taste.
