Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (or any preferred milk alternative)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Grated apple (peeled)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the grated apple and melted coconut oil until evenly incorporated.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the cinnamon sugar topping, mix together the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Once the donuts are cool, lightly dust or dip each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated as desired.
Serve and enjoy your gluten-free apple cinnamon donuts!
