Ingredients

Scale

Dry 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

Wet Ingredients

1 large Egg
1/3 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown With a Hint of Molasses
1/4 cup Non-Fat Milk
1/4 cup Plain Non-Fat Yogurt
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

Topping

1 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (melted)

Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until evenly mixed.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown Sweetener, non-fat milk, and non-fat yogurt until smooth. Add melted butter and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be very thick.
Fill the donut pan: Pipe or spoon the batter into each donut cup, filling 2/3 to 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Bake the donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until the edges turn lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool the donuts: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack set over parchment paper or a baking sheet.
Finish cooling: Let the donuts cool completely on the rack, about 10 minutes, before adding the topping.
Prepare and apply topping: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated Stevia sweetener and ground cinnamon. Dip each cooled donut in melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-stevia mix.
Serve and store: Enjoy immediately or store the donuts in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts tender and light.
Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the donut pan for even shapes.
Ensure donuts are completely cool before adding the topping to prevent melting and sogginess.
Store donuts at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
For a vegan alternative, substitute egg and dairy with plant-based options, noting that texture may vary.
