Preheat your oven to 220\u00b0C\/fan 200\u00b0C\/gas 7.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and caster sugar in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt, egg and vanilla in a jug and stir it into the flour mixture. Try not to overwork the mixture \u2013 just bring it together to a smooth, soft, slightly sticky dough (the bicarbonate of soda will soon begin to work its magic and puff up the mixture).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Put a large disposable piping bag in a jug or large glass and open it up over the lip of the jug or glass (this will help to keep the piping bag open). Spray the inside with low-calorie cooking spray. Spoon the dough into the piping bag and twist the end to close it, then lift the bag out of the jug or glass and snip off a 3cm hole at the pointy end. Spray a doughnut tin with low-calorie cooking spray and pipe 10 neat circles of dough into the holes. Lightly spray the tops with more low-calorie cooking spray, then bake for 8-10 minutes \u2013 you don\u2019t need to turn them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Leave the doughnuts to cool slightly, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. When the doughnuts are cool, mix the icing sugar with cold water to make a smooth icing (try about 1\u00bd-2 tsp water to start with and add more if needed). Pour half into another bowl and add some green food colouring until it\u2019s the shade of green you want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. For the Frankenstein doughnuts, evenly spread the green icing over them and decorate with the edible eyes, black food colouring and chocolate sticks\/batons using our image as a guide. For the vampire doughnuts, evenly spread the white icing over them and decorate with the edible eyes, black food colouring and chocolate sticks\/batons. Dilute the jam with a little water and use it to create the effect of blood around your vampires\u2019 mouths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: We also made a few jammy doughnuts! You\u2019ll need to use rounded moulds or a muffin tin rather than a doughnut tin, and the dough will make 8 doughnuts rather than 10. They\u2019ll need 8-10 minutes in the oven. Once cool, make a hole in the side of each doughnut and, using a piping bag, squirty bottle or pipette, inject 1 level tsp jam into each of the 8 doughnuts. These filled doughnuts are 9 Syns each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/deliciously-wicked-halloween-party-ideas\/\"><strong>Get more deliciously wicked Halloween party ideas here.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover spooktacular support!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find lots of ghoulish goings-on in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/nearest-group-search\">nearest Slimming World group<\/a> this October.
