Baked apple cider (mini) doughnuts



I love doughnut. Who doesn't?!?!?! :) Deep fly made doughnut sound unhealthy but since i heard about "Baked Doughnut" my mind just keep thinking about it "Doughnut .. Doughnut and Doughnut". Finally, today is the day, i am going to make it. Let's see!!!! or even better, Let's EAT!!!! :D

To be honest, there is, in anyway, the different between these 2 kinds of doughnuts. The texture of "Baked doughnut" is more like a "light" bread .. not as light as "Deep fly Doughnut" but thinking that it is healthier. Why not! Beside, the taste is great :) 

I made "Baked Doughnut" once and it was so much fun to make. The method is like making a bread. (I love making bread! :)) The texture was a little bit dense. Of course, it was YUMMY. That's for sure :) So, this time i try "Baked Doughtnut" in Doughnut pan :) It soft, light, and yes, again YUMMY as usual :) It is more like a cake in circle form but that's still make me feel good eating them: healthy and it's DOUGHNUT!!!! ^_^

Ingredients:
adapted from here

makes about 24 mini doughnuts
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp apple pie spice 

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp apple cider
  • 3 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp canola oil



Direction:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lightly coat "mini doughnuts pan" with cooking spray. Sprinkle "mini doughnuts pan" lightly with sugar, shake out excess.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together -- flour + baking powder + baking soda + salt + cinnamon + apple pie spice -- set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together -- egg + brown sugar + applesauce + maple syrup + apple cider + yogurt + oil --
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and stir just until combined. 
  6. Pour the batter into a zip lock bag. Cut one corner of the bag.
  7. Squeeze out the batter, almost 3/4 full, into each space. Not more than 3/4 full please!
  8. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Wait a few minutes then carefully (tapping) remove doughnuts from pan  and let cool completely on a wire rack.





Hope this will give you an idea of making some :)
