Ingredients

Units Scale

Donuts

  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp applesauce
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 + 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 3 tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare flax egg: Combine ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken the consistency.
  2. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flax egg, plant-based milk, applesauce, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix together.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together.
  5. Add wet to dry: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Mix until they evenly combine; do not over-mix the batter.
  6. Add batter to donut pan: Liberally coat a donut pan with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray. Add the batter to each donut slot, filling it only 2/3 of the way so the batter can rise while baking.
  7. Bake: Bake donuts for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  8. Coat donuts in cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the vegan butter in the microwave. Brush a donut with melted vegan butter, then gently toss inside the cinnamon sugar. Evenly coat the entire donut, and repeat until all donuts are coated. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Donuts are best enjoyed freshly baked or during the same day you create them. Store leftovers in a sealed container at room temperature. They will keep for 2 days (at most).
