Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup All-Purpose Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1/2 teaspoon Salt; 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg; 1/3 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown With a Hint of Molasses; 1 Large Egg; 1/4 cup Non-Fat Milk; 1/4 cup Plain Non-Fat Yogurt; 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter; 1 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract; 1 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener; 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon; 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (melted)

Ingredients

1/3 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown With a Hint of Molasses

1 cup All-Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

1 Large Egg

1/4 cup Non-Fat Milk

1/4 cup Plain Non-Fat Yogurt

2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter

1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

1 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener

1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3: In another bowl, whisk the egg, brown Truvia sweetener, non-fat milk, and plain non-fat yogurt until smooth. Add the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.

Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick—avoid overmixing to keep donuts tender.

Step 5: Spoon or pipe the batter into each donut cup, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

Step 6: Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the donut comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool the donuts in the pan for about two minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack set over parchment paper or a large baking sheet to finish cooling for at least 10 minutes before topping.

Step 8: For the topping, combine granulated Truvia sweetener and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Dip each donut in melted butter, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sweetener mixture.

Step 9: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.

Tips & Variations

Try adding a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to the dry ingredients for extra warm spice flavor.

If you don’t have Truvia, you can substitute with regular brown and granulated sugar, but adjust to taste.

For a dairy-free version, replace milk and yogurt with almond or oat milk and a dairy-free yogurt.

Use a piping bag with a round tip for evenly shaped donuts or simply spoon the batter carefully.

FAQs

Can I make these donuts without a donut pan?

You can shape the batter into small rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, but they won’t have the classic donut hole. Adjust baking time as needed, checking for doneness.

How do I prevent the donuts from sticking to the pan?

Be sure to thoroughly spray the donut pan with a non-stick spray or lightly grease it with butter. Using a silicone donut pan can also help prevent sticking.
