Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup skim milk
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, alternating with the skim milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Lightly grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray.
Step 6
Fill each well of the doughnut pan about two-thirds full with the batter. A piping bag or spoon works well for this.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, you can glaze or dust them with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
