Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add applesauce, lowfat buttermilk, egg, vanilla and melted butter. Whisk or stir to combine. Slowly add to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off, pipe the batter carefully into prepared donut pan making sure each cavity is only ⅔ full. Bake for 10-12 minutes (donuts should be fluffy and should spring back when touched mine took 12 minutes).
Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan, about 5 minutes.
Top with vanilla glaze.
