Baked Vegan Donuts

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare two donut trays by spraying with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Step 3

Mix together.

Step 4

Add the soy milk, vanilla, applesauce and melted vegan butter and whisk in, removing any large lumps.

Step 5

Place the donut batter into a piping bag and pipe it into the donut partitions evenly or use a spoon (but it can get messy).

Step 6

Bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned on top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring the donuts to a wire cooling rack.

Step 8

Allow to cool completely before doing the topping.

Step 9

For the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate by placing it in a microwave safe bowl and heating in 30 second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30 seconds until completely melted. Dip the donuts into the melted chocolate and then place onto a parchment lined baking tray and use a teaspoon to add the sprinkles. When all the donuts are done, move the tray into the fridge briefly for the chocolate topping to set.

Step 10

For the cinnamon sugar topping, add the sugar and cinnamon to a bowl and mix together. Melt the vegan butter and use a brush to brush the butter onto the top of a donut and then immediately dip it into the bowl of cinnamon sugar. Place the donut onto a parchment lined tray and use a teaspoon to add more cinnamon sugar to the top of the donut. Repeat for all the donuts.
