Healthier Cinnamon Spice Donuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond milk, egg, butter, and vanilla in a bowl and mix well. Add granulated sugar substitute and mix until well combined.
• Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and allspice together. Add to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the donut pans, filling each cavity 3/4 full.
• Mix 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute and cinnamon together for the topping. Sprinkle over the donuts. Drizzle melted butter over the tops.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 21 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, the transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Make the Doughnuts: In a small saucepan, warm the milk slightly with 1 teaspoon sugar. Add the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes to proof.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water.
• In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment mix the flour, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Add the proofed yeast mixture, beaten egg mixture, and melted butter. Remove the paddle, switch to a dough hook, and mix until well-blended and kneaded, about 15 minutes. Transfer the dough to a large greased mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
• On a floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thick and transfer to a sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes, allowing the dough to rest.
• Cut dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Line a sheet pan with a buttered sheet of parchment paper. Arrange the dough squares 1/2-inch apart on the sheet pan and cover with another sheet of buttered parchment. Place in a warm place to rise about 30 minutes.
• Make the Coating: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon to coat doughnuts.
• Heat the oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F and fry the doughnuts for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. While doughnuts are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar, to coat.
