Description

Enjoy these fluffy vegan cinnamon donuts, made with a mix of all-purpose and almond flour, and rolled in a sweet cinnamon sugar coating. Ideal for breakfast or a delightful snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  6. Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full with the batter using a piping bag or spoon.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  10. Once cool, roll each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  11. Enjoy your vegan cinnamon donuts fresh, or store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • For gluten-free donuts, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Add-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit can enhance flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.
