Serves: 6
Ingredients
DONUTS
- 1 1?4 cups moist-style devil's food cake mix
- 1?2 cup canned pure pumpkin
- 1?4 cup egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
TOPPING
- 1?3 cup Truvía? Natural Sweetener Spoonable
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp light whipped butter or light buttery spread
- 1?4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 drop pink food coloring
- 1 Tbsp rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 6-cavity standard donut pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pumpkin, egg whites/substitute, and 1?4 cup water until completely smooth and uniform. Evenly distribute batter into the rings of the donut pan. Gently smooth out the tops. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out mostly clean, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Let donuts cool completely, about 10 minutes in the pan and 15 minutes on the cooling rack.
- In a wide microwave-safe bowl (a little larger than one of the donuts), whisk Truvía? Natural Sweetener with cornstarch until uniform.
- Place 2 Tbsp water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Add butter, vanilla extract, and food coloring. Microwave for 20 seconds, or until water is hot and butter has melted. Mix well, and add to the Truvía? Natural Sweetener mixture. Vigorously whisk until completely smooth and uniform.
- Microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds, or until mixture is fully bubbling. Let cool slightly.
- One at a time, dunk the tops of the donuts into the topping, coating the top halves. Return to the cooling rack, top with sprinkles, and allow to set.
