Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Sweet Rice Flour (Glutinous Rice Flour)
- 60 grams All-Purpose Flour
- 10 grams Baking Powder
- 50 grams Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Egg Whites
- 240 ml Low-Fat Milk
- 5 ml Vanilla Extract
- 60 ml Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 as needed Cooking Spray
- 30 grams Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a donut baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg whites until frothy.
Add the low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the egg white mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag (or use a zip-top bag with a corner cut off) and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
