Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and erythritol until smooth.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy the sugar-free old-fashioned donuts plain or with your favorite sugar-free glaze or toppings.
