baked long johns

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 eggs

3/4 cup fat-free milk

1 Tbsp. butter, melted

1 tsp. vanilla extract

GLAZE:

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 Tbsp. butter

4-1/2 tsp. fat-free milk

In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, slat and cinnamon.  In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, butter and vanilla.  Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Transfer to eight mini-loaf pans* coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 325 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.  Immediately remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter.  Add milk;  stir until smooth.  Dip tops of doughnuts in glaze.  Return to wire rack;  let stand until set.

Makes eight long johns.

*(obviously) You can use x-large muffin pans in place of loaf pans.
