Chocolate donuts

If you don't want to add the cocoa (or the syns) you could use just Weetabix and miss out the cocoa powder completely but I think for 2.5 syns over six donuts it's worth the treat.

When it came to flavouring, I used cocoa essence in one batch and salted caramel in another.  If I'm honest the salted caramel was better, but you can use whatever you like - vanilla would work too.

These ingredients make six donuts from two Weetabix which is your HEB.   
 
That makes the six donuts 2.5 syns for them all.  If you add the 'icing' it depends how much you use so I’ve give you the full syn value below.  You can always skip and have with fruit as I've also shown below

Ingredients

Donuts
2 Weetabix blitzed (HEB) 
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (2.5 syns)
2 eggs
2 tablespoon fat free yogurt (0.5 syns for the whole tub, you're using 2 tablespoons so I didn't syn it but you can add 0.5 syns if you want to)
Teaspoon essence - vanilla or choc
Sprinkle of sweetener (1 teaspoon is syn free)

Icing (optional)
½ a tub quark (I used the other half to make apple cinnamon flapjack)
1 white chocolate options sachet (2 syns)
1 tablespoon choc shot (2 syns)
Vanilla or orange essence
Pinch of sprinkles (too few to count the syns)
Method

Squash the Weetabix (I just crushed them in my hands) into a bowl and everything together to form a batter.
 

 
 
Spoon into a silicone donut mould and cook for @20 mins at 180 or until the donut is firm.  It won't go especially brown as it has cocoa powder in but you'll see it does brown slightly but it will be almost crisp to the touch.



Leave to cool before taking them out of the mould. 
 
Serve either slightly warm (my favourite) or cold with either a dusting of sweetener or some 'icing'

Icing:
 
Just before you want to serve make up your icing and spoon over the donuts with as much or as little as you like.  It doesn’t taste like quark and is actually quite nice.  It tastes quite decadent for very few syns and any leftover is perfect to put on strawberries

Drizzle with choc shot which is 2 syns a tablespoon and a final pinch of sprinkles will make them perfect!
