Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! October is National Vegetarian Awareness Month, so this week’s theme = Vegetarian Awareness!

So I finally turned on my oven and made…doughnuts! :D

Once upon a time (about a month ago), I went apple picking at Terhune Orchards with two of my fellow co-interns. It’s rare that we get to hang out and apples are also one of my favorite fruits, so it was a super fun break! :D

The caramel apples looked amazing, but they were $5-6 each.

I used the Terhune Orchards apple cider to make these donuts! Lunch was BBQ chicken with slaw! :] I almost felt like I was back in WV…

Rubber ducky races and bright sunny skies!

We could not get the ring on the hook. Has anyone ever succeeded with this? (Does it defy the laws of physics? :O )

Our other two co-interns unfortunately couldn’t come because they were working, so I promised I’d bring back treats for them, and that I did, in the form of apple cider doughnuts! I left each of them a doughnut + a pack of vanilla creme brûlée hot cocoa in the call room so they’d have something sweet to look forward to at the end of their long day. :]

I started craving them again the following week, so I decided to make my own! This recipe has a vegan option as well! Just check the “additional notes” section! ;P If you want to “frost” them with a healthier frosting, try the frosting from my Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes!

Prep: 10m

Cook: 10m

Yield: 6

Total: 0h 20m

You'll Need...

• 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• sprinkle of sea salt
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 1 large duck egg*
• 2 tbsp vanilla soy milk (or your choice of milk)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil**
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, egg, soy milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
5. Portion evenly into a 6-count doughnut pan and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.

Additional Notes

*Coconut oil solidifies at room/cooler temperatures so that made mixing this a little more difficult, but they turned out fine!
**Vegan option: Sub in a flax or chia egg by combining 1 tbsp ground flax seed or chia seeds with 3 tbsp water. Let it congeal into an egg-like texture before adding it in!
