These Pumpkin 2 Ingredient Donuts Weight Watchers are the perfect light treat to make for the fall! It may be no surprise that even with Weight Watchers, I still enjoy baked goods. Fall is right around the corner, so we are getting ready for everything pumpkin again.

These are slightly different 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.

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?
New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.
I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan launched in November 2022 is similar to WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.
No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime a couple of times but stopped working the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. Head on over ->here to get a month for free.
2 Ingredient Pumpkin Doughnut Recipe Ingredients:
- Yellow Cake Mix– You can use different cake mixes for this. I loved that it wasn’t a strong pumpkin since we didn’t use a spice cake mix and used yellow cake mix instead. You will not use the water, oil, or eggs listed on the cake mix box.
- Pumpkin– I used pumpkin canned puree to make this, fresh puree may work, but I have not tried it myself.
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 metal pans as well.

In a mixing bowl, combine your cake mix and pumpkin; this worked better, working it together with a spatula rather than a whisk.
Now you will need to have the batter in a piping bag to pipe into the doughnut molds. I stuck a gallon ziplock bag into a beer stein and filled it that way. It worked out perfectly!
Cut a good size hole into the Ziploc and pipe into the doughnut pans.
Now this made 18 doughnuts for me; I started out filling not as full but then 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; I tore one to make sure it wasn’t too doughy in the middle. My oven gloves work best for baking with silicone pans (these are my favorite on Amazon -> here).
Serve and enjoy!!
Weight Watchers Points Value For 2 Ingredient Pumpkin Doughnuts
Make sure to recompute the points on your box mix, but mine came out to 78 points for the whole box and works out to 4 points a serving on the plan starting November 2022.

Can this be made as a muffin instead? I don’t have donut pans.
