Instructions
Donuts
Preheat oven to 350 F
Combine all ingredients for the streusel topping in a small bowl and set aside.
Slice apples for the donuts into small ¼” size pieces and set aside.
For the donuts, combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients (leave out apple pieces) and mix until just combined- do not over mix. Fold in apple pieces until combined.
Generously grease the donut pan with spray coconut oil to prevent sticking to the pan.
Fill the donut pan with batter ¾ the way up and sprinkle topping evenly over donuts.
Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Frosting
Combine all ingredients for the frosting in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Once the donuts have cooled pipe frosting over the donuts using a piping or ziplock bag.
