HOW DO I MAKE MY PUMPKIN CINNAMON AND SUGAR DONUTS?

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• In a mixing bowl combine, flour or pancake mix, baking powder, salt, and spices together.

• And then mixing together, unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin puree, egg, brown sugar substitute, vanilla, water, and melted butter.

• Then add all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with hand.

• In this step, spray DONUT PANS with nonstick cooking spray.

• Place donut batter into a ziplock bag and cut one corner off of the bag to create a piping bag.

• Then fill prepared DONUT PAN 1/2 way with batter using the piping bag. (I used a donut pan to make baked donuts.)

• Then bake for 10-13 minutes.

• Take it out from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.

• And now: Mix together the sugar substitute and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

DONUT INGREDIENTS

Notes:

SERVINGS: MAKES 12 DONUTS

🔹PersonalPoints: 1 personal point* each.
*This number shows the PersonalPoints™ range. The points will vary based on your individualized plan.

1. I prefer to hand mix the batter using a whisk or silicone mixing spoon until the flour streaks disappear.
2. For the GREEN plan, use 1/4 unsweetened applesauce.
3. Use either 1/4 unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 non-fat Greek yogurt for the BLUE and PURPLE plans. Because that will not make a difference in points
4. I recommend using the Gold Medal All Purpose Flour in order for the donuts to be 1 point.
5. Remember, not all brown sugar substitutes are zero points.
