Equipment

Ingredients

Batter

2 servings (4 scoops, 100 grams or about 1 cup) Naked Cake pancake mix
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon melted butter

Topping

2 Tablespooons melted butter
2 Tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously spray a 6 count donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, water and melted butter. Pour the batter evenly into the donut pan.
2 servings (4 scoops, 100 grams or about 1 cup) Naked Cake pancake mix , 1/2 cup water, 1 Tablespoon melted butter
Bake for 11-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the donuts bake, mix the monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon together in a bowl wide enough for each donut to fit in.
2 Tablespoons monk fruit sweetener, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
In another bowl shallow enough for the donuts to fit, melt the butter.
2 Tablespooons melted butter
Once the donuts are baked and cool enough to touch, dip/dredge the tops of each donut in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Eat immediately or warm each donut for 5-10 second in the microwave before eating. They are even better slightly warmed! The donuts are best eaten the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

Baking Tips - Once baked, the tops of the donuts may look a little wrinkly and bumpy. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5-10 minutes then remove from the pan using a butter knife to pry any stuck edges. Flip the donuts over to the smooth and pretty side and dip in the butter and the cinnamon "sugar" mixture.

Serving Tips - These donuts are best eaten slightly warm. Pop in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.

Storage Tips - These donuts do not freeze well.
