INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup melted butter or avocado oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups maple sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons Justin’s Cinnamon Almond Butter

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two standard-sized doughnut pans and set aside
  2. Beat together the butter or oil, eggs, sugar, applesauce, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the doughnut pans so it’s nearly to the top.
  4. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
