Baked Goods, Desserts
Ingredients
4 large eggs
⅓ cup 100% pure maple syrup
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 medium to large gala apple, cored and quartered
1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
¼ cup tightly packed superfine blanched almond flour
2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ cup raw cane sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a standard donut pan with cooking oil spray.
In a high-powered blender, add the eggs, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, vinegar, apple, oats, almond flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Blend on high until well combined, about 60 seconds.
Carefully spoon the mixture into the prepared donut pan, filling the cups three-quarters of the way full.
Bake for 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Set the donut pan on a wire rack and let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
In a small-wide mouth bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and sugar. One at a time, place each donut face down in the bowl and rotate until all of the sides are coated in cinnamon sugar. Serve.
