Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup apple sauce
• 0.5 cup low-fat milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup grated apple
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the apple sauce, low-fat milk, egg, honey, and pure vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated apple gently, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into a large ziplock bag, seal the top, and snip one bottom corner off to create a piping bag.

Step 7

Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your low-fat apple cinnamon donuts warm or store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
