Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the applesauce, skim milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the donuts are cool, place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Lightly dust the donuts with powdered sugar by either dredging them or gently sprinkling the sugar over them.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat powdered sugar donuts!
