Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with the water and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a medium bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the maple syrup, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture, whisking until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the thickened flaxseed mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the donuts plain or glaze them with additional agave syrup mixed with a touch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
