Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and milk until well combined.
Step 4
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for topping.
Step 9
Once the donuts are cool, spray or lightly brush them with a bit of water to help the cinnamon sugar stick.
Step 10
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each donut before serving.
