These taste exactly like the cinnamon sugar donuts from a donut shop, minus the deep fryer and minus the sugar. Baking them keeps the texture soft and cakey, closer to a donut hole than you'd expect from something baked in a pan.
Rolling them in the cinnamon coating while they're still warm is the move, the butter helps it stick to every side. These disappear fast whenever I make a batch.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 6-cavity donut pan well. In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Spoon the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched lightly. While the donuts bake, mix the cinnamon and sweetener for the coating together in a shallow bowl. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then brush each one with melted butter on all sides and roll in the cinnamon sweetener mix.
