Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or coconut oil.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix together the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Once cooled, drizzle or dip the donuts in a glaze made from powdered sugar and a little almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
