Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.33 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and sugar until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, mix together the buttermilk, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until a smooth batter forms. Avoid over-mixing to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
Step 5
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the cavities of the prepared mini donut pan, filling each about halfway.
Step 6
Bake the mini donuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they spring back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once cool, sprinkle the tops of the donuts with cinnamon sugar for a delightful finishing touch.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
