Ingredients

  • 1 cup unbleached whole wheat flour sifted
  • 1/4 cup Truvia Baking Blend Natural Sweetener* or any other sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons skim milk

Optional Toppings

  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla glaze
  • Melted chocolate
  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Grease your donut pan with a baking spray that has flour in it
  • Mix – flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan well with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sweetener, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 14 to 17 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Add your favorite topping or glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter, or the donuts can turn dense.
  • Grease the pan well to prevent sticking.
  • Let the donuts cool slightly before removing from the pan.
  • If using Swerve, substitute 2 tablespoons for the Truvia Baking Blend.
  • For a quick vanilla glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon milk, and a splash of vanilla extract.
