For this round of the recipe swap, it was a blogger’s
choice theme where we get to pick any recipe from the assigned blogger’s blog.
I got Nicole’s blog Prevention RD. I love her blog and have followed her for a long time so it was
a big challenge to pick one recipe that I wanted to make. Well, I couldn’t pick
just one recipe but I’m posting this one: Baked Apple Cinnamon Doughnuts. (Or
are they donuts? Hmmm.) I also made the Skillet BBQ Chicken Pasta for dinner one night. It was so good!
It makes sense that I made this recipe, because this was
one of the recipes that I saw that had eventually inspired me to buy a doughnut
pan. These are really easy to make and I made them on Saturday morning and took
them to ballet class. I figured they were healthy and they were enjoyed by all.
I made 20 donuts with this amount of batter. I always
pipe my batter in the pans, since that is a lot neater. I should have been more
heavy-handed with the cinnamon sugar, because I felt that there could be more
of that. While these are baked and aren’t as decadent as a fried, frosted,
filled doughnut, they are still very good and fill that sweet cake craving.
Thanks for such a great recipe!
12 ounces unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray a doughnut pan with
non-stick cooking spray.
Combine applesauce, egg, oil, and sugar in to a large
bowl and mix well. Slowly incorporate the rest of the ingredients, mix well,
but be sure not to over mix.
Place about 3 tablespoons of batter into each donut mold.
Bake for 8-9 minutes.
While the doughnuts are baking, combine the sugar and 1
teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl, set aside.
Allow the doughnuts to cool for a few minutes before
removing from the pan. Spray the tops of the doughnuts very lightly with cooking
spray and dunk into cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Yum! I love cinnamon and apples and doughnuts, so these will have to be made in my house soon!
ReplyDeleteA donut pan would be so dangerous in my house. These look awesome.
