I feel like I've been on a recipe "roll" lately. I can't remember being on a hotter streak than this for awesome, awesome recipes. I hope you guys have been feeling the same way too.
Anyways, enough humble bragging.
These double chocolate donuts are unreal. Each time I make a batch of these, "the struggle is real", to not eat all of them. And when I say that, I'm talking about not eating all of them the moment they come out of the oven...not over the course of a few days. However, just incase you do over indulge, don't worry, each donut is only 125 calories.
I honestly believe these baked chocolate donuts rival any fried one I've had. Yes, they are a bit "cakey-er" than your typical fried one, but that's not always such a bad thing. These donuts also have a rich dark chocolate flavor component to them, and that's even more true if you make the chocolate frosting to go on top of them. The bold flavors of the unsweetened cocoa powder are balanced unbelievably well by the sweetness of the sugar substitute though. I guess you could say these donuts are sweet, but not overly sweet, and maybe, that's why they're so addicting.
