Ingredients

For the donuts:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
• ¼ cup low-fat milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp light oil
• ¼ cup sugar (or sweetener)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

• ¼ cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup finely diced fresh strawberries

For topping (optional):

• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Fold in diced strawberries. Cover and chill while you make the donuts.

2. Bake the Donuts
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk applesauce, milk, egg, oil, sugar, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined.
Spoon batter into the donut pan, filling each about ¾ full. Bake 12–14 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

3. Stuff the Donuts
Once cooled, use a small knife to cut a hole in the side of each donut (or use a piping bag tip to create space). Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe filling into each donut until slightly full.

4. Finish and Serve
Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy!
