• Cook Time: 25 minutes  
• Total Time: 35 minutes  
• Yield: 8 donuts

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup melted palm shortening (or coconut oil or butter)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup cassava flour (70g)
• ¼ cup coconut flour (25g)
• 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp paleo baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• Cinnamon Sugar Coating (optional)
• 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 8 slots in a donut pan/s with shortening or oil and set aside. (use your preferred oil – avocado, canola, olive)
• Whisk together the wet ingredients for the donuts.  This includes the applesauce, eggs, melted shortening and vanilla
• Whisk together the dry ingredients.  This includes the cassava flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt
• Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir with a spatula until well combined. The batter is a bit odd, but it works!
• Pipe the batter into the greased donut pans. I used a plastic baggie to do this, but you can use a piping bag or just scoop the batter into your pan with a spoon or spatula
• Place the donuts in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
• After baking, cool the donuts for 5-10 minutes in the baking pan, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack
