Servings: 9 donuts
Calories: 293kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Apple cider
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- caramel sauce for drizzling, optional
Instructions
- Heat apple cider in a small saucepan, covered, over medium heat until reduced to 1/3 cup. It will become a thick syrup. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, add egg, sugars, coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture, along with the reduced apple cider, and mix until just combined. Don’t over-mix! Batter will be sticky!
- Pour batter in a greased donut pan, filling only halfway. You can do this using a cookie scoop, spoon, or put the batter into a frosting bag with a big round tip (I like this way best.)
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes and then remove from pan.
- While the donuts are cooling, mix together cinnamon and sugar in a bowl or dish wide enough to easily fit the donuts in flat.
- Brush melted butter all over each donut and roll in the bowl of sugar until fully coated. I only buttered and sugared one side, but you can do both if you want! For an extra treat you can also drizzle caramel sauce on the top. I recommend doing this as you are eating them so it doesn't make a mess it whatever container you store them in.
- Serve warm or room temp.
