Ingredients
- 240 grams Sweet Rice Flour (Glutinous Rice Flour)
- 60 grams All-Purpose Flour
- 10 grams Baking Powder
- 50 grams Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Egg Whites
- 240 ml Low-Fat Milk
- 5 ml Vanilla Extract
- 60 ml Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 as needed Cooking Spray
- 30 grams Powdered Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a donut baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder together until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg whites until frothy.
Step 4
Add the low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the egg white mixture and mix well.
Step 5
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to a piping bag (or use a zip-top bag with a corner cut off) and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly pressed.
Step 8
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
