Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegan butter, melted
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the donuts have a lightly golden brown color.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, dip or dust the donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
