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
- 1/3 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 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoon 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 and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a donut pan thoroughly with non-stick spray and set it aside to get ready for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, brown stevia sweetener, milk, and yogurt together until smooth. Add in the melted butter and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until everything is fully incorporated.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts tender. The batter will be quite thick at this point.
- Fill Donut Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into each donut cavity, filling each about two-thirds to three-quarters full to allow room for rising without overflow.
- Bake Donuts: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 9 to 10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Donuts: Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 2 minutes, then transfer them carefully to a wire rack set over parchment paper or a baking sheet to cool completely for at least 10 minutes before adding the topping.
- Prepare Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated stevia sweetener and ground cinnamon. Dip each donut into melted butter, then sprinkle or dip into the cinnamon-stevia mixture evenly to coat.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy your freshly baked brown sugar donuts immediately, or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy donuts.
- Allow donuts to cool completely before topping to help the sugar stick better.
- These donuts are best enjoyed within 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container.
- You can replace the non-fat milk and yogurt with whole milk or Greek yogurt for a richer texture.
- If you don’t have a donut pan, you can use a muffin pan and adjust baking time slightly, checking for doneness.
