Divine chocolate doughnuts

Mmm, doughnuts. We often advise you to eat more ‘hole’ foods at WW, and because nothing’s off the menu, we’ve put brown bread and quinoa to one side (for now) to bring you a delicious chocolate doughnut recipe. With a spoonful of apple sauce whisked into the mix, this WW twist on classic chocolate doughnuts is irresistible – and a unique treat for the taste buds too.

Best of all, the centre of these doughnuts are 0 Points! Jokes aside, this is a wholly delicious dessert that won’t scupper your healthy eating plan.
