Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup apple sauce
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup grated apple
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix together the apple sauce, low-fat milk, egg, honey, and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated apple gently, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into a large ziplock bag, seal the top, and snip one bottom corner off to create a piping bag.
Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat apple cinnamon donuts warm or store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
