5.   Add a couple of drops of red food colouring for the red colour

6.   Fold this into the oat mixture.

7.   If your donut tray is not non stick you will need to grease.

8.   Add the batter to 9 holes of the doughnuts tray and lightly tap the tray on the counter to evenly distribute

9.   Place in the oven and bake for approx 13 mins (a tooth pick entered into the middle should come out clear).

10. When you remove the doughnuts from the oven, allow them to cool slightly in the tray and then carefully remove using a silicone spatula by running it around the bottom.

11. In a bowl mix together the low fat cream cheese and fat free Greek vanilla yogurt and a little sweetener to taste

12. Spread it over the top of each donut, and sprinkle with the red sprinkles.

13. Enjoy 3 of these as a HEb and 3 syns - they are yummy!!
