anti wrinkle cream top 10: It's National Donut Day! 3 Delicious Donut Recipes Under 200 Calories

Who doesn’t love a good donut? Donuts are one of those sweet treats that fall into the comfort food category. And on some mornings, you just wish you had a few donut recipes that won’t totally wreck your healthy weight loss plan.

But, donuts on a diet? It sounds entirely too good to be true.

Actually, the truth is that with the right donut recipes, you can enjoy everyone’s favorite sweet treat while still sticking to your healthy eating regimen. A lot of it comes down to how you prepare them. By baking or air frying your donut recipes (instead of deep frying in oil), you save yourself quite a few calories. On top of that, swapping out some of the unhealthy ingredients—such as the loads of sugar traditionally used in donuts—you can bring that calorie count even lower. And the shocking thing is, they still taste absolutely delicious while clocking in under 200 calories per serving.

Don’t believe us? Well, here are three delicious donut recipes you need to try to believe:
