Recipe Report

I am so excited for today's Recipe Report! I pinned this recipe on my Pinterest forever ago and have been wanting to try it ever since. I found a recipe for Skinny Vanilla Bean Donuts on The Skinny Fork and was dying to see how they tasted. (Her pictures look far better and more appetizing than mine, but you get the idea.) I bought everything I needed: vanilla beans (instead of vanilla bean paste, which I've never heard of and couldn't find anywhere), powdered sugar, flour (white, not whole wheat), eggs, Truvia (2 tbsp for baking instead of 1/4 cup of sugar), cinnamon, fat free Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, and low-fat butter. The only thing I didn't have was a doughnut pan, so my mom said she'd find her mini bundt pan for me, but that took a couple of weeks.
When I finally had everything I needed, I began mixing the dough. However, I clearly filled the bundt pan too full and ended up with muffins that had a hole in the bottom of them. Austin affectionately called them "Butt Muffins." But, I didn't hear him complaining after he ate 3 of them! They were SO GOOD!!! And I figured them out to be (with the glaze) 4 Points Plus (only 3 without). Needless to say, I ate a few. I was thinking about making the dough again and putting it into a banana bread tin so that I have a loaf of vanilla bean bread. Either way, I'm definitely making them again soon!
