  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

  • To make the donuts

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, apple butter, apple cider, maple syrup, yogurt, and oil until combined. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined.
  3. Evenly divide the batter between donut pans lightly coated with nonstick spray. If you don't have the pans, you could use miniature bundt molds instead. Bake until the tops spring back when lightly pressed in the center or a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached - about 8-14 minutes depending on pan size. Remove and turn the donuts out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix together confectioners sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Dip the top half of each donut into the glaze and set on a wire rack to firm up.
