Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups milk (any kind, unsweetened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 10 drops liquid stevia
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, milk, large egg, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the donuts remain light and fluffy.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner cut off, and pipe it into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back gently when touched.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free mini donuts plain, or consider topping them with a little cinnamon or unsweetened cacao powder for added flavor.
