Apple Cider Donuts are a staple in the fall. Try making this diabetes-friendly, baked version at home.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 12-cavity doughnut pan, or 2 standard-sized muffin pans.
Boil apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat until it's reduced by half, about 3/4 cup. Let it cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, sugar substitute, eggs, apple cider, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, stirring until just combined. Don't overmix. Spoon the batter into each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes for doughnuts or 15 to 18 minutes for muffins, until a toothpick comes out clean.
In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar.
While cooling in the pan, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the doughnuts.
Let the dusted doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
