These tender, pillowy donuts are baked to perfection, eliminating the need for deep frying while retaining all the irresistible flavors and textures you crave. Whether you’re a devoted vegan or simply seeking a healthier alternative, these mouthwatering donuts are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • Optional: Vegan sprinkles or powdered sugar for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, and melted coconut oil.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense donuts.
  5. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full. Smooth out the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula for even baking.
  6. Bake the Donuts: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Decorate: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can decorate them with vegan sprinkles or dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
