Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml apple cider
- 60 ml unsweetened applesauce
- 60 ml coconut oil, melted
- 60 ml pure maple syrup
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 5 g baking soda
- 5 g baking powder
- 5 g ground cinnamon
- 2 g ground nutmeg
- 2 g salt
- 100 g vegan granulated sugar
- 50 g vegan powdered sugar
- 5 g ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the apple cider until it reduces to about 120 ml. This should take around 10-12 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider until well combined.
In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Remove donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix together the vegan granulated sugar, vegan powdered sugar, and remaining ground cinnamon.
While the donuts are still slightly warm, gently brush them with some melted coconut oil or water, then dip each donut in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Vegan Apple Cider Donuts!
