Ingredients
Vegan Donuts
- ⅔ cup dairy free milk
- 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour, gluten free or all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a donut pan with nonstick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine dairy free milk, applesauce, melted coconut oil and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Then, sift in flour. Add in sugar, cinnamon, sea salt and baking powder. Stir to combine.
- Use a spoon to transfer donut batter into the sprayed donut pan. Fill each cavity almost all the way full. The donuts will rise while baking.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until donuts have puffed up and edges are slightly golden.
- Finally, remove from oven. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack.
- Once fully cooled, mix together cinnamon and sugar in shallow bowl. Place each donut in this mixture and moved around until fully coated.
Notes
- Any type of dairy free milk works. Canned coconut milk is a little bit too thick and makes for dense donuts. Otherwise, use almond, cashew or oat milk.
- If needed, replace melted coconut oil with melted vegan butter.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work. For these photos, I used King Arthur Flour gluten free 1 to 1 flour.
- The batter is somewhat thick.
- Use a spoon to add batter to the greased donut pan. Or, you can add the batter to a piping bag and pipe it into the pan.
- Bake until donuts have puffed up and edges look golden.
- Wait until donuts are fully cooled before coating with cinnamon sugar.
- These donuts are best eaten with 24 hours. They do not keep much past 1 day.
