I have made these doughnuts twice now! Once in mini muffin trays as doughnut holes, and once in the doughnut pan (after I ordered it). The second time I replaced the oil with cinnamon applesauce to be a little healthier. They turned out awesome!! I did find both times that these were VERY moist and a little dense. Any way to make them a little fluffier next time? Christy, you could try cutting back on the liquid (applesauce or oil) by 2-3 tablespoons, and increasing the leavening by 1/4 teaspoon – that might be just the nudge toward fluffiness you're looking for.
