Ingredients

for the donut holes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp finely ground sea salt
  • ½ cup organic brown sugar packed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F° and prepare your donut hole pan with non-stick spray and then set it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder and salt and then set it aside. In another bowl, whisk together the hot apple cider with the sugars. Add in the milk, applesauce, coconut oil, vinegar and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
