Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and coconut sugar until thoroughly combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to activate the vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the melted coconut oil and unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients, whisking until everything is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix the two mixtures together using a spatula until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to over-mix.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cavity of the donut pan about 3/4 full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts have risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, feel free to glaze or sprinkle your donuts with toppings of choice, like powdered sugar or a dairy-free glaze.
