Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Monk fruit sweetener (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Honey substitute (such as yacon syrup or maple syrup extract)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free option)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. If using, also add the monk fruit sweetener to the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, honey substitute, olive oil, and milk until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full to allow room for the donuts to rise.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an optional topping, you can dust the donuts with a bit of extra cinnamon or use a sugar-free glaze made from blending more honey substitute and a dash of vanilla extract.
Serve the donuts fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
