makes 12 donuts
1 cup organic whole-wheat flour
1 cup unbleached organic all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 cup chunky applesauce
2/3 cups apple cider
1/3 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons canola (or vegetable) oil
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray, then set aside.
3. In a shallow bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Place in a sieve and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, use a fork or whisk to stir together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten egg, brown sugar, cane sugar, applesauce, apple cider, Greek yogurt, and canola oil.
6. Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure that all the dry ingredients are incorporated into the batter.
7. Spoon the dough into each cavity in the donut pan; do not overfill.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are set and spring back when gently touched.
9. Remove the donuts from the pan and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon powdered sugar over the top and bottom of each donut. Place on a wire rack and let cool slightly before eating.
