Description

Light and fluffy baked donuts made with funfetti cake mix, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and egg whites for a celebratory, lower‑fat treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 box funfetti cake mix
  • 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Spray oil for pan
  • Optional: extra sprinkles for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a donut pan with oil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together cake mix, Greek yogurt, egg whites, applesauce, and water until just combined—don’t overmix.
  3. Transfer the batter to a zip‑top bag, cut off one corner, and pipe into donut pan wells about 2/3 full.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the donuts spring back when gently touched or a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Decorate with extra sprinkles or a light glaze if desired.

Notes

  • Glaze by whisking powdered sugar with a splash of milk or vanilla extract, then drizzle once donuts are cool.
  • Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze after fully cooling.
  • To reheat, microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm in a low oven; adds to that fresh‑baked feel.
