Ingredients
Vegan Apple Cider Donuts
- 2 tablespoon flax seed meal
- 4 tablespoon hot water
- 1 cup almond or oat milk
- ¾ cup cane or coconut sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon melted vegan butter
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- almond or oat milk for thinning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flax seed meal with the hot water and let this sit for 2 minutes. Then, add the almond milk, sugar, applesauce, apple cider vinegar, melted vegan butter, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together. Mix well - the mixture will start to fizz. Add the flour and mix until a batter forms.
- Spoon the batter into 16 silicone donut molds that have been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the donuts have risen and are golden. Allow them to cool in the molds before removing and adding the toppings.
- To make the cinnamon sugar topping, simply mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl. To make the glaze, simply whisk together the powdered sugar, melted vegan butter, and cinnamon. If the mixture is too thick to dip the donuts into, add 1-2 tablespoon of almond milk to thin the glaze.
- Dip the donuts into the cinnamon sugar or the glaze and serve!
