Description

Ingredients

• Donuts
• ¾ cup coconut oil
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup apple sauce (I prefer granny smith, makes the apple flavor more defined)
• 3 cups flour
• ½ tspn salt
• 2¼ tblspn baking soda
• 1 cup coconut milk (like what you’d use in cereal)
• Caramel Icing
• 1 tblspn coconut oil
• ¼ cup coconut milk (like what you’d use in cereal)
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 4-10 drops neon green gel food coloring
• White Icing Drizzle
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tblspn water

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
• Grease donut tin. Set aside.
• To make the donuts, mix wet ingredients thoroughly in a medium-sized bowl.
• Mix dry ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.
• Combine wet ingredients into dry ingredients in ½ cup increments and blend until smooth.
• Fill donut tin ¾ full.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for approximately 10 minutes in tin.
• While that’s cooling, make your icing by placing all ingredients in a small sauce pan and stirring until mixed thoroughly.
• Place over medium heat and stir constantly until everything is dissolved and you have a nice, thick, creamy caramel sauce. Should taste pretty stinkin’ good, too. I almost decided to have just that for breakfast. Screw the doughnuts.
• Allow the caramel to cool a little (but not too much), then pour some into a plate or pie pan (I used a pie pan–afraid of getting burned), approximately the depth of ⅓ to ½ of a doughnut.
• Dip each doughnut into the caramel sauce and place on a plate and allow to stand while you dip all the rest (or eat one, just to make sure they’re good).
• I tossed a tiny bit of cinnamon over all the donuts at this point. Thought it looked pretty.
• To make the white drizzle, mix 1 teaspoon of water at a time into the cup of powdered sugar until the mixture is just liquidy enough to manipulate and not be powdery.
• Then, using a spoon or fork, drizzle the white icing drizzle over the doughnuts.
• Allow to stand for approximately–oh, whatever, just eat them.
