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