Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray the donut pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.
- In another bowl, combine the applesauce, sugar and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Either spoon the batter into the pan or put the batter into a large ziplock (or pastry) bag and squeeze into the pan, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 3 minutes before emptying out onto a cooling rack.
- Once on a cooling rack, mix the powdered sugar and water together until it’s a fairly liquidy and pourable glaze. Pour on the donuts, spreading it out with the back of a spoon.
- In a bowl, combine the half tub (8 ounces) of vanilla frosting and 20-25 drops of the neon green food coloring. Spread over the tops of the glazed donuts.
- Using the tip of a knife, poke at the frosting to create spikes.
- Randomly place the eye sprinkles and serve!
Notes
You can even make these the night before and they’ll be all ready for your Halloween in the morning!
