Can I Freeze Weight Watchers Chocolate Donuts

To freeze the chocolate donuts, place them on a plate to let the frosting harden. Once the donuts are frozen, move them to a freezer bag. The donuts will last for 2 months in the freezer.

Do I Have to Use a Donut Pan?

If you don’t have a donut pan, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just spray it with cooking spray and fill the cups 2/3 of the way full. The bake time will be the same as for the donuts.

Can I Make Mini Donuts Instead?

You can use a mini donut pan instead of a regular size pan. You will get more donuts and this means each donut will be less points. The bake time is going to depend on the size of the pan so start watching it at 4 to 5 minutes.

How High Do I Fill the Donut Pans?

I like to fill the donut pans close to the top. I like to go close to the rim but don’t go all the way to the top. These donuts do not rise too much but they do rise some. Leave about 1/4 inch at the top.

Tips for Making Baked WW Chocolate Donuts

Sift the dry ingredients together to help it mix together easier.

When making these donuts, be sure to use a light hand when adding the flour. Over mixing the batter will make the donuts tough.

Use room temperature eggs.

Also, be sure to let the donuts cool completely before frosting them. If you frost them while they’re still warm, the frosting will melt and slide right off.

On my personalpoints plan these donuts are 2 points, since most of my food points stayed the same as it was on blue. Use the WW app to find how many points these are on your plan.
