Batter - wet ingredients
  • 3 eggs large, room temperature

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C / 160 Celsius Fan / 350 F. Grease a silicone donut pan with melted butter or oil.
  2. Peel the apple and chop it into small pieces. Put these in a bowl, cover and cook in a microwave until soft (mine took 4 minutes at 900W). Alternatively, simmer on the stove with a splash of water until very soft. ***see recipe notes
  3. In a food processor or high speed blender, blend the eggs until fluffy, pale in colour and double the size.
  4. Add the melted butter, sweetener, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract and cooked apple and blend.
  5. Now add all remaining dry ingredients - almond flour, coconut flour, spices and baking powder. Blend until a smooth batter.
  6. Fill into the prepared donut pan. Don't over-fill or you'll lose the hole! Bake for 14 minutes.
  7. Let the donuts cool completely before removing from the pan.
  8. Mix together the "cinnamon sugar" mixture. Brush the donuts lightly with melted butter and roll in the mixture until coated all over.
