Vegan Donuts

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 1 flax egg
• 2 tbsp vegan butter (melted)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup unsweetened plant milk
• 2 tbsp white granulated sugar
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp vegan butter (melted)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350ºF or 180ºC and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray or grease it with some oil. Set aside.

2. 2

   Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl (flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt).

3. 3

   Add all the wet ingredients (flax egg, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and milk) and stir until well combined.

4. 4

   Fill each pan cavity approximately 3/4 full. You can spoon the batter into the donut pan (it can get messy), or fill a ziplock bag with the batter, cut a hole in the corner, and pipe it into the pan.

5. 5

   Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the donut pan. Then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

7. 7

   The topping is optional but so delicious and easy to make! To make the cinnamon sugar just mix the sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.

8. 8

   Then use a brush to brush the melted butter onto the top of a donut and then immediately dip it into the bowl of cinnamon sugar.

9. 9

   Serve your vegan donuts with a glass of rice milk, coconut milk, or a cup of coffee.

10. 10

    Store the vegan donuts in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
