Chocolate Glazed Donuts

Dust off the donut pans, I've got another one for you!  I think my 8 year old was getting tired of the white donuts (apple cider, cinnamon) because he came up to me and said "do you think you could make some chocolate donuts"?  Sure, son.  In the name of research, I'll prepare some chocolate donuts!  These turned out great and are surprisingly low cal.  Breakfast, dessert, midnight snack all apply here.  Enjoy!

Chocolate Glazed Donuts (adapted from bunsinmyoven.com)

For the donuts:

1 c. white whole wheat flour (can also use all purpose)
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 T. flaxseed (or one egg)
3 T. water (leave out if using egg)
6 T. light sour cream (can also use plain yogurt)
1/4 c. skim milk
1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce (or canola oil)

For the glaze:

1 c. powdered sugar
4 T. water
3/4 t. vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 375.  In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda.  In a small bowl combine the vanilla, flaxseed (or egg), water (if using flaxseed), sour cream (or plain yogurt), milk and applesauce (or oil).  Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.  Spoon into greased donuts pans.  Bake for 8 minutes until the top springs back when you touch them.  Let the donuts cool completely before you glaze them.  To make the glaze combine the powdered sugar, water and vanilla until well combined.  Dunk the donuts in the glaze and let them set on a wire rack.
