Secret Recipe Club!

Happy Monday beautiful people!

Well, well, well, look what we have here. Another Secret Recipe Club reveal. O yes. This month I was super excited to find out that my secret blogger was Amy from Savvy Kitchen. Now, Amy is Italian, so you can imagine that I felt we could definitely be bff's. After browsing some of her delicious recipes, I ironically didn't settle on one of her delish Italian dishes, like Chicken Parmigiana, but instead went for something I have been really craving...donuts. O yes. When I read Amy's recipe for Baked Apple Donuts, I knew that they were going to hit the spot, especially. Now, because my little celiac seester was in town on spring break this weekend, I decided to make the donuts gluten-free, and o.my. gosh-ness...they were out of this world.

I mean, really? You just can't go wrong with a cinnamon sugar topping.

 Tip: mix it into softened butter...and boom! Out of this world!

Cinnamon sugar makes everything better.

Boom!

Kid-sister approved!

1 1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. ground nutmeg
1 t. ground cinnamon

4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well using a spatula.
6. Pour the batter into each donut cup, filling each 3/4 the way full.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
8. While the donuts are baking, make the topping.
9. Melt the coconut oil in a bowl. Set aside.
10. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon on a flat plate and distribute evenly over the plate.
11. Take the donuts out of the oven, and using a knife, twirl it around the outer edge of each donut, until the donut comes out of the pan easily.
12. While the donuts are still hot, dip both sides in the coconut oil, then press both sides into the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure to coat the donut well.
13. Place the donuts on the prepared cooling rack.
