Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml apple cider
- 120 ml unsweetened applesauce
- 60 ml coconut oil (melted)
- 150 g brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 60 ml almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 100 g powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan.
In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until it has reduced to about 120 ml (1/2 cup), approximately 10 minutes. Allow it to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled apple cider reduction, applesauce, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, whisking well until smooth.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring well after each addition to form a smooth batter. Add the almond milk to adjust the consistency if needed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly touched.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the doughnuts cool, make the powdered sugar glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and a few teaspoons of almond milk until smooth.
Once the doughnuts are completely cooled, dip each one halfway into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Place them back on the wire rack to set.
Enjoy your Vegan Apple Cider Doughnuts as a delicious treat with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
