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.
