Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Erythritol (sugar substitute)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and erythritol until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center 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 cooled, enjoy the sugar-free old-fashioned donuts plain or with your favorite sugar-free glaze or toppings.
