Ingredients
For the apple cider donuts
- ¾ cup Bob's Red Mill Paleo Flour Blend or gluten free 1:1 flour
- ½ cup monk fruit sweetener or white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon all spice
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs or flax eggs for vegan
- 2 tablespoon butter or vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoon apple juice
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
For the cinnamon sugar coating
- ⅓ cup monkfruit or white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven & prepare the donut pan. Pre-heat your oven to 350F and lightly grease a silicone donut pan using olive oil or vegetable oil based pan spray.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix together paleo flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.
- Prepare wet ingredients. In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, milk & vanilla and continue to mix on medium low.
- Make the donut batter. Add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on medium low until mostly incorporated. Then increase speed to medium and finish combining.
- Bake the donuts. To avoid a flat bottom baked donut, pour batter into a pastrybag, then snip the tip of the bag off and pipe the batter into the donut pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar mixture. In a large mixing bowl, add ⅓ cup monk fruit sweetener or white sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Mix gently to combine. Allow doughnuts to cool to room temperature, about 10-15 minutes before adding the coating. Roll donut around in sugar mixture and place on a cooling rack until all donuts are dusted.
