Baked apple pie doughnuts

Servings: 8

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour (or more white whole wheat flour)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp apple pie spice*
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, unpacked
• 2 egg whites
• 1 apple, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp non-fat milk
• 1 tbsp oil

For cinnamon-sugar coating

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon

*Note: if you don’t have apple pie spice use 1 tbsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, + 1/4 tsp ground ginger + 1/8 tsp allspice*

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a doughnut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, apple pie spice, and brown sugar in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine egg whites, apple, yogurt, applesauce, vanilla, milk, and oil. Add dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
4. Spoon batter into doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 of the way full.
5. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Combine cinnamon-sugar coating in a small bowl. When doughnuts are baked, remove from the oven and immediately coat in cinnamon-sugar while still warm. *This helps the cinnamon-sugar stick to the doughnuts*
7. Serve warm.
