A healthier option to classic fried donuts are these whole wheat cinnamon sugar baked donuts. They are covered in a delicious cinnamon sugar mixture and are fluffy and light. Ideal for an easy and filling breakfast!
Ingredients: 1 cup whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup sugar. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1 egg. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 tablespoons melted butter. For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Instructions: Grease a donut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. Mix together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix the melted butter, applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk in a separate bowl. Mixing until just combined, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Take care not to blend too much. Pour the batter into each of the donut pan's cavities, filling them about two thirds of the way. A toothpick inserted into a donut should come out clean after baking for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven. As the donuts bake, get ready to coat them with cinnamon sugar. Ground cinnamon and granulated sugar should be combined in a shallow bowl. When the donuts are done, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a short while in the pan. Take the donuts out of the pan, coat each one evenly with melted butter, and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. After coating, place the donuts on a wire rack to cool fully. Savor your tasty breakfast or as a delightful treat with these delicious and simple Whole Wheat Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts!
