With Halloween, October might just be the sweetest month of the year. But our sweet treats spare you the sugar and calories normally associated with confections. And you better believe we never skimp on the novelty.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve dreamed up five simple, healthy, and scrumptious donut recipes that will fill your home and belly with fall feel-goodness. Our donut recipe collection is the perfect complement to the cravings associated with fall: warm, sweet, ooey-gooey fun.

Paula Deen and state fair chefs have been known to use glazed donuts as burger buns, a horrifying sandwich that can tip the calorie scale. So we decided to create a stuffed donut with clean, lean, hormone-free bacon. We decided not to stop there, so we threw in scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese. The result? A mouthwatering, 148-calorie stuffed donut.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"quinoa donuts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/10\/5-indulgent-homemade-donut-recipes-under-200-calories\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90503\" alt=\"quinoa donuts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/quinoa-donuts.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/quinoa-donuts.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/quinoa-donuts-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"pbj donut\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/pbj-quinoa-donuts-a-really-indulgent-breakfast-for-the-food-sensitive\/\">PBJ Quinoa Donut<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Peanut butter + jelly = donuts\u2014a match made in heaven, am I right?

I asked her to make a healthy state fair-like concoction, and she came through with <strong><a title=\"blue cornbread recipe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/01\/vegan-blue-cornbread-is-a-sweet-companion-to-hearty-winter-meals\/\">this blue cornbread<\/a><\/strong> donut for 186 calories. The down-home batter is as pleasant as a country campfire and the organic, natural chicken sausage is well seasoned and juicy. The bitterness and acidity of the peppers and onions complement the light sweetness of the cornbread and slight spice of the sausage.
