You must think I am a little nuts for using the word “skinny” and “donuts” in the same sentence. Well, I am NUTS, NUTS for these DoNUTS. (Wow, that sure does sound like a good slogan, doesn’t it? I should trademark it.) Not only are these donuts “skinnier” and delicious; they are also packed with protein and easy to make! And the best part? They are chocolate!!! I am a chocoholic and am always looking for ways to curb my chocolate appetite without increasing my waist line. These donuts certainly do the trick! So without further ado, here is the recipe for “Skinny” Baked Chocolate Donuts!
