Vegan Cinnamon Donuts
Servings: 8 donuts
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup plant based milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with vegan butter or oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well.
- Once the donuts are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack.
- While the donuts are still warm, brush each donut with melted vegan butter or coconut oil, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
