    Chocolate Pumpkin Baked Donuts are full of chocolate pumpkin flavor and are only 1 weight watcher point plus!  Looks like you can have your cake and eat it too!
    Chocolate Pumpkin baked Donuts

    Oh my.  Do I ever have a treat for you today!  These chocolate pumpkin baked doughnuts are like most other baked doughnuts...the only thing that really makes you "think" you're eating a doughnut is the shape.  But when you can take a recipe, adjust it so it taste fabulous and have it be weight watcher conscious, then you have a winner.  Even if it is not fried!


    The blog I have been stalking this month for my Secret Recipe Club assignment was Cupcake Muffin, written by Sara.  Sara has been blogging for just a couple months longer than I have been.  She has a massive amount of recipes to choose from on her blog and it was not a very easy decision.  Considering I have been watching my food intake and trying to reduce my weight some, I started by looking at all her salad and vegetable dishes.  However, by the time I actually had time to make something it was Saturday morning, the weekend of our due date for posting.  I happened to look at her baked goodies.  The Chocolate Beet cake was very tempting, but when I read about how involved it was I decided that had to wait for another day when I was prepared to spend a lot more time in the kitchen than I wanted to that day.  Then I saw the Mini Chocolate Doughnuts.  And I started to think. Think about how I could make these and make them Weight Watcher friendly and have them fit into a fall theme.

    Chocolate Pumpkin Baked Donuts

    I started to think of ways to cut the fat and still have moist donuts.  In comes the Pumpkin.  I then decided I would use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, White Whole Wheat Flour and some International Delight Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Creamer and Pumpkin Pie Spice.  I ran the recipe through the Recipe Builder on the Weight Watcher website and at first I thought, 2 points, not bad.  But that was only if the recipe made 12 mini doughnuts.  This recipe made 30 mini doughnuts turning the points value into only 1 point per serving!  I had died and gone to heaven.  I played with the calculations some and found that even if I didn't frost these donuts, they still were going to be 1 point each, so have your icing and eat it too and still only spend 1 point!  This is a perfect recipe for those of us who are dying for something sweet and chocolaty and not kill our diets.

    Oh, and even GRUMPY loved them!  Now that says a lot.  😉

      Pumpkin is definitely a great way to add moistness without adding fat. And you get all that fiber too...BONUS! These look amazing!
