Apple sauce is a great substitute for oil in baking and works great in cakes, breads, cookies, pancakes and of course these apple donuts. It produces moist baked goods with a fine crumb.
I enjoy creating clean and healthier, preferably refined sugar free desserts and sweet treats, that’s why I made baked applesauce donuts.
I’m also following a low-carb,sugar-free diet and I mostly cook Keto friendly desserts.
There is no flour or refined sugar in these.
They are made with almond meal and low-carb, Keto sweetener. I used Swerve confectioners, but even Organic powdered white sugar will work.
These apple donuts are perfect for breakfast, with a cup of coffee, but also make a great addition to your lunch box. Kid friendly, too!

TIPS FOR MAKING BAKED DONUTS:
Don’t overmix the batter. This will result in donuts that are though and we aim for moist and fluffy donuts.
Have all your ingredients at room temperature.
If the batter appears too thick, you can add 1-2 tbsp almond milk to it.
These flourless apple donuts do stick to the donut pan. Make sure you spray it very generously with cooking spray. Also don’t under bake them. Make sure you let them cool completely in the pan, then loosen up with a knife and very carefully take out of the pan.
These donuts require 15-18 minutes to bake. Toothpick inserted should come out clean.

so yummy
Question? Have you tried this in a different type of pan? Like a muffin pan? I wasn’t sure if the donut pan was more shallow ? I don’t want to wait to order one! If so , do you think it would work if I filled them half way? Thanks for your help!
