I was in the mood for making a new donut, one that wasn’t too decadent but still hit the spot! 🙂 These oatmeal chocolate chip donuts are perfect, full of hearty oats and just enough chocolate to finish them off with some sweetness. They are only 82 calories each, 2-3PP if following WW. They make a great dessert or even a grab-and-go breakfast.
Ingredients used
- Oats
- Flour
- Brown sugar
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Apple sauce
- Almond milk
- Vanilla
- Mini chocolate chips
- Icing *optional
For the oats, I usually use Quaker large flake oats however quick oats will work just as well.
You can substitute the almond milk for regular milk if necessary.
For the icing, I sometimes buy the container of Betty Crocker icing, or you can easily make a small amount using a little icing sugar (a.k.a confectionary sugar) and milk. If I do use icing you really don’t need much, just a little drizzle will really sweeten up these donuts.
Oatmeal chocolate chip donuts
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup oats
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp apple sauce
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1.5 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a 6 hole donut pan.
- In a small bowl mix all of your dry ingredients together.
- Stir in your apple sauce, milk, and vanilla. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Fill donut pan and bake in oven for 16 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes then remove from pan using a knife to scrape around edges. Makes 6 donuts at 2-3 personal points, 3sp on blue & green, 2SP on purple or 2 points plus each. Best stored in the fridge. Optional, top with vanilla icing, you don't need much, I pipe 1 Tbsp out of a small zip lock bag and can get enough to cover all 6, wont add points for 1 donut but if you have 2 I would add a point for icing.

I need a sweet treat! I don’t have any applesauce in the house right now. Substitute???
Mashed banana, pumpkin, but the taste will change
Have you ever made them as a muffin?
No but I know others have and they should work out fine, I always suggest mini muffins if using one of my donut recipes as a muffin recipe
I may have missed the question, but what if you dont buy almond milk – will fat free cow’s milk work as well? I don’t buy buttermilk but know I can add lemon juice to regular milk to make a substitute. I just don’t use it enough to buy a container. Suggestions? Thank you.
Hi Joni, yes fat-free milk is fine to use
Is there a recipe for the icing?
Hi Barb, no, I just used a little from a container
Hi! Did you use unsweetened almond milk? I wasn’t sure which kind to buy. Thanks!
Hi, yes I always buy unsweetened but either is fine
Can you use a sugar substitute, such as Swerve? Do you think it Oswald make a difference in points?
Sure you can substitute, it will likely drop the points down by 1, so 2 on blue/green, 1 on purple
