Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, egg, honey, and olive oil until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly touched.

Step 7

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and water in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.

Step 9

Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 10

Immediately sprinkle each donut with a small amount of sprinkles before the glaze sets.

Step 11

Allow the glazed donuts to sit for 10 minutes before serving to let the glaze harden slightly.
