Wanna know the way to a girls heart?. 😉
My friends here it is!. DONUTS! Only problem for me is, my stomach rebels against the donut shops and I’ll be miserable if I tempt to eat them. So I did some diggin and look what I found! I switched some of the ingredients up because I didn’t have them or the flour was regular (gluten). Plus I wanna enjoy food and not be miserable!. These literally take 25 mins maybe start to finish!

Ingredients:
Donut batter

2C + 2.5TBS Flour (I used gluten free all purpose)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2C granulated sugar (I used brown sugar)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2/3C unsweetened applesauce (I used olive oil)
4 tsp pure maple syrup
1/3C milk (I used lactose free BUT do NOT use coconut milk because it’ll make the batter too thick)
1/3C of oil of your choice. (I used butter here)
What to coat the donuts with
2TBS Coconut oil (I used the rest of my butter stick from before)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2C granulated sugar (I used brown sugar)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
-mix all dry ingredients in a bowl

in a separate bowl mix all liquid ingredients
combine wet and dry ingredients, make sure you sure well but don’t over stir or they’ll be a little harder after baking.
the batter will be thicker so take a spoon and fill in your donut pans. I just spooned out little at a time and kinda formed it to the molds.
bake in oven for 12 minutes, check with a toothpick to make sure they’re cooked all the way through.
as soon as they come out of the oven place on a wire rack.. they should come up super easy, but if not gently remove them with a spoon.

For the coating

mix together cinnamon and sugar in a bag
rub the donuts with the butter
I placed my donuts in a bag and shook them gently so they would be coated really good.

Serve when cooled down or warm. Mine made 9 donuts. Depending on size of molds. You could probably make 12 with the small ones.

Enjoy!!
