As the days become crisp and the leaves begin to fall, we are swapping out beach days and bonfires for all things Apple Cider and Hocus Pocus!
These Apple Cider Protein Donuts will certainly get you in the Fall Mood! Not only are they moist and filled with all the autumnal flavors you’d associate with this cozy season, but they are super easy to make and sure to please the whole family!
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F
In a bowl, combine your dry ingredients:
• 1 cup GF flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1½ TSP baking powder
• 1/2 TSP nutmeg
• 1/2 TSP apple pie spice or cinnamon
• 1 scoop of Purely Inspired Organic Protein in French Vanilla
Mix!
In a separate bowl, add your wet ingredients:
• 2 TBS melted plant-based butter
• A splash of vanilla extract
• 2 TBS unsweetened applesauce
• 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
• 2 TBS apple cider vinegar
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. The batter should be slightly thicker than your typical cake batter. Transfer your mixture to a plastic bag and cut the tip of one corner to mimic a piping bag. Spray your donut pan with cooking spray and fill each donut mold with your batter.
Bake for 13-15 mins.
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating, you’ll need:
• 2 TBS melted plant-based butter
• 1:1 of cinnamon and granular sugar, enough to coat the donuts
Once the donuts are cooled, coat them with your melted butter and toss them in your cinnamon sugar coating. Cozy up with a blanket, a good movie, a warm drink, and enjoy!
