Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.
- Prepare Your Donut Pan: Grease your donut pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, and apple cider until smooth.
- Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined to avoid tough donuts.
- Fill Your Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
