Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 whole Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Applesauce, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan with oil or non-dairy baking spray.
In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil and allow it to reduce to about half a cup. This intensifies the flavor. Let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time to the large bowl, whisking well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Stir in the cooled apple cider and applesauce into the wet mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill the prepared doughnut pan about 3/4 full with the batter using a spoon or piping bag.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the doughnuts comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the doughnuts to cool slightly in the pan before transferring them onto a wire rack.
While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating by combining additional ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl.
Once the doughnuts are cool enough to handle but still slightly warm, gently toss each doughnut in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Serve the doughnuts warm or at room temperature.
