After so much research I think I finally found a Tasty but healthy donut recipe.

My Recipe:
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tbs sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp Cinamon
½ cup greek yogurt
¼ cup milk
½ tsp salt (optional)

1 egg
½ tsp vanilla
1 tbs butter
¼ cup Strawberries
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two donut baking pans with vegetable oil or spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, Cinamon, and salt until combined. Add in the buttermilk, vanilla, melted butter, egg, strawberries.. Mix with a spatula until everything is just combined.
3. Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag (no tip required) or a plastic bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into each donut mold.
4. Bake your donuts for 10-15 minutes. They’ll be ready when an inserted toothpick comes out clean. When the donuts are cooked, take out of the oven and let cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then remove from the tray and let cool completely on a cooling rack.

Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon greek yogurt
1½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup finely chopped strawberries

5. As the donuts cool, place ½ cup of strawberries in a bowl and crush with a fork. Add 1½ cups powdered sugar and whisk until you have a thick glaze. Set aside.
6. Whisk together the other ½ cup of powdered sugar with greek yogurt until smooth.
7. Dip the donuts into the strawberry glaze. Turn over and place on a rack for 10 minutes or until the strawberry glaze sets.
8. Give the greek yogurt icing a stir, then drizzle it over the donuts with a spoon or an icing bag.

For the donuts:
Prep: Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Spray a doughnut pan with oil spray. Have a piping bag at the ready.
Dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until thoroughly combined.
Wet ingredients: Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla until completely combined, then add to the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula.
Rub the oil around in the doughnut tin so each hole is nicely coated. Spoon the batter into your piping bag and pipe into the tin holes, to about 2/3 full. Dot the top of each of the donuts with the strawberry pieces.
Bake for 12 minutes - a toothpick should come out clean. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Then you can use the empty doughnut pan topipe and bake the last one.
For the strawberry glaze:
In a wide bowl, sift the icing sugar and freeze-dried strawberry powder.
Heat the strawberries in the microwave for 30-40 seconds until they are warm and soft. Use a silicone spatula to push them through a sieve into the sugar mix. Make sure to scrape the puree from the bottom of the sieve too.
Mix until combined.
Top the doughnuts: Place your doughnuts, on a rack over a lined baking tray (to catch any drips). Dip the bases of the doughnuts (the other side to the strawberries) into the glaze, let a little drip off then turn them up the right way on the rack. Allow to set before serving
