2 Ingredient Pumpkin Donut Recipe

These Pumpkin 2 Ingredient Donuts Weight Watchers are the perfect light treat for the fall! It may be no surprise that even with Weight Watchers, I still enjoy baked goods.  Fall is approaching, so we are getting ready for everything pumpkin again. And do I have to say more?? Doughnuts!

These differ slightly from my 2 Ingredient Muffins (see them here -> here). Since they don’t have any water, they are a bit thicker and more cake-like! The perfect way to replicate a cake donut from a bakery without all the extra calories!  Either way, they taste great, and the kids also enjoy them, you would never guess they are weight watchers donuts!

2 Ingredient Pumpkin Doughnut Recipe Ingredients:

• Yellow Cake Mix
• Canned Pumpkin puree– be sure this has no added fillers to it

How To Make Pumpkin 2 Ingredient Donuts:

Preheat your oven to 400 Degrees

Spray your doughnut pan; I spray mine with olive oil from my Misto. Now I use my silicone doughnut pans from when we made Keto Bagels (you can see those -> here). I love to bake in silicone, but there are also metal pans.

Combine your cake mix and pumpkin; this worked better, working it together with a spatula rather than a whisk. A handmixer may work, but this was a thick batter, so I opted to go this route.

Now, having the batter in a piping bag to pipe into the doughnut molds makes this much easier.  I stuck a gallon ziplock bag into a beer stein and filled it that way. It worked out perfectly!

Cut a decent size hole into the Ziploc and pipe into the doughnut pans. You can also cut the hole larger if you think it’s too small when you get started.

Now this made 18 doughnuts for me; I started out filling not as full, but ended up adding to them to make the molds fuller.

Bake for about 9-11 minutes, keeping an eye on them to raise and be done through

Now I tore one to ensure it wasn’t too doughy and thoroughly baked in the middle, but you can use the toothpick testing too.  My oven gloves work best for baking with silicone pans (these are my favorite on Amazon -> here).

Serve and enjoy!!
