Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, egg, honey, and olive oil until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly touched.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and water in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Immediately sprinkle each donut with a small amount of sprinkles before the glaze sets.
Allow the glazed donuts to sit for 10 minutes before serving to let the glaze harden slightly.
