Ingredients
- Donuts
- 1 1/4 cups moist-style yellow cake mix (a little less than half a box)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
- 1/2 tsp. maple extract
- Glaze
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar (not packed)
- 1 1/2 tbsp. lite pancake syrup
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk, light vanilla soymilk, or fat-free dairy milk
- 1/8 tsp. maple extract
- Dash salt
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 6-cavity standard donut pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine donut ingredients. Add 1/4 cup water, and mix until completely smooth and uniform. Evenly distribute batter into the rings of the donut pan, and smooth out the tops.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out mostly clean, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, place a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
Let donuts cool completely, about 10 minutes in the pan and 15 minutes on the cooling rack.
In a medium bowl, combine glaze ingredients, and whisk until smooth and uniform.
One at a time, dunk the tops of the donuts into the glaze, coating the top halves.
Return to the cooling rack, and allow glaze to set, about 10 minutes
