Ingredients

Scale

Doughnuts

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to evenly distribute spices and leavening agents.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine apple cider, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  4. Prep your baking tools: Lightly grease a doughnut pan and spoon the batter into each mold, filling about three-quarters full for ideal thickness and rise.
  5. Bake with care: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Make the maple glaze (natural): While doughnuts bake, whisk together maple syrup (natural), powdered sugar, and apple cider until smooth and glossy.
  7. Glaze and serve: Once doughnuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the maple glaze and place on a cooling rack to set. Serve immediately or store as desired.

Notes

  • Measure accurately for perfect texture and rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep doughnuts tender.
  • Use fresh apple cider for the best flavor.
  • Cool doughnuts completely before glazing to prevent glaze from becoming too runny.
  • Store doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
