NOTES : Instead of the sugar and spice coating, you can glaze the doughnuts with a powdered sugar icing made with 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and enough milk (2-3 tablespoons) to make of glazing consistency. If glaze is substituted for margarine and sugar 'n' spice coating, the points per doughnut would be 3.5 Points.
