Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2/3 c. unsweetened almond milk
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. melted vegan butter
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 c. granulated sugar
4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and grease a donut pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Step 2In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, sugar, butter, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Transfer batter to a piping bag and pipe into prepared donut pan. Step 3Bake until edges are golden and middles are set, 10 minutes. Remove donuts from pan and let cool slightly on a cooling rack. Step 4In a medium bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Gently toss donuts in cinnamon sugar while still warm.
Pick your favorite non-dairy milk. You don’t have to use almond milk, although we tend to like its mild flavor for baked goods. But if you’re more into soy or oat milk, go for it. Coconut would give these a nice subtle sweetness, too. And your favorite vegan butter. Donuts need a little bit of fat—but not as much as everyone might think! These are far from being fat bombs. We just use 1/4 cup of melted vegan butter for the whole batch. Make them cinnamon sugar—or glaze ’em. We love the classic flavor of cinnamon sugar donuts, but you can totally make a non-dairy glaze for these by whisking together 1/4 cup of your favorite non-dairy milk, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
