Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix together the low-fat milk, unsweetened applesauce, the large egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until a batter forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts are set and spring back when lightly pressed.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the honey glaze by combining the honey and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Gradually mix in the tablespoon of water until you get a smooth, glaze-like consistency.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Dip each cooled donut into the honey glaze, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them back on the rack to set.
Serve the donuts fresh for the best texture and flavor.
