Ingredients:
- 1 cup applesauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan. If you don’t have one, feel free to use a muffin pan, but don’t tell the doughnut gods!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix—think of it as being gentle with your batter!
- Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. If you’re feeling fancy, you can use a piping bag for precision!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like an applesauce dream!
- Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust your delectable doughnuts with powdered sugar, if desired. You can also get creative with glaze or sprinkles. Go wild!
- Serve warm or at room temperature and watch them vanish faster than you can say “delicious!”
