Rhubarb Apple Baked Donuts
- Yield: 6 regular donuts + 4 donut holes, or 7 regular sized donuts
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup shredded apple
- slightly heaped 1/3 cup finely diced rhubarb
- natural cane sugar for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Lightly butter donut pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add apple juice, coconut sugar, and honey. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add egg and whisk to egg to incorporate.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined. Do not over mix. Use a rubber spatula to fold in rhubarb and apple.
- Pipe the mixture evenly into the donut pan. (I use a small ziploc bag and cut the tip off one corner for piping.)
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until donuts are lightly browned and tops appear dry. Let cool in pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Donuts are best served slightly warm. Dip in natural cane sugar before serving, if desired.
