Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

Add the sugar substitute to the wet ingredients and mix until fully dissolved.
Step 5
Fold the grated low-fat cheddar cheese into the wet mixture.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense donuts.

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
