Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Almond milk
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Grated apple
• 0.5 cup Cinnamon sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a small amount of coconut oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but smooth.

Step 5

Fold in the grated apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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 8

Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the donuts are cool, lightly brush or spray with a bit more melted coconut oil, then dip each donut into the cinnamon sugar to coat.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
