Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, unsweetened almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in dense donuts.
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, gently drop portions of dough into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each donut hole for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and fully cooked inside.
Remove the cooked donut holes with a slotted spoon and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of almond milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once cooled, dip the top of each donut hole into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place glazed donut holes on a wire rack to set.
Enjoy the donut holes immediately for the best texture, or store in an airtight container for up to two days.
