Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda. Ad pumpkin, eggs, milk and shortening. Beat with an electric mixer until mixed.

Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and pipe onto cooking sheet sprayed with Pam. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden. Mine took exactly 10 minutes. Cool on a a wire rack.


For the frosting, mix ingredients together until smooth. This was enough to frost all 12 donuts – the whole frosting recipe comes in at 260 calories, 2 fat, 60 carbs, 0 fiber, 1 protein. Not too bad and so delicious!
