Cinnamon Apple Donuts

Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings: 6 donuts

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup apple juice
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons applesauce unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for a topping

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 ° F. Lightly spray a 6-cavity donut pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the apple juice, coconut milk, applesauce, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined.
  • Pipe the mixture into the prepared donut pan using a pastry bag (or just use a spoon). Fill each cavity just to the top, but don't overfill. Bake the donuts for 11 to 13 minutes until the donuts are firm.
  • While the donuts are baking, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. When the donuts are done, let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for a minute, until you can handle them. They should slide easily out of the pan. Immediately dip each one into the cinnamon sugar mixture and return to the wire rack to continue cooling.
  • The chocolate glaze is an optional drizzle. Mix the sugar and cocoa; slowly add milk and vanilla. It should be pourable.
  • Serve warm.
