Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)

plant-based milk

applesauce

apple cider vinegar

tsp vanilla extract

all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed)

sugar

cinnamon

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

tbsp vegan butter, melted

Prepare flax egg

Combine ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken the consistency.

Preheat oven

Combine wet ingredients

In a bowl, combine the flax egg, plant-based milk, applesauce, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix together.

Combine dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together.

Add wet to dry

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Mix until they evenly combine; do not over-mix the batter.

Add batter to donut pan

Liberally coat a donut pan with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray. Add the batter to each donut slot, filling it only 2/3 of the way so the batter can rise while baking.

Bake

Bake donuts for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Coat donuts in cinnamon sugar

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the vegan butter in the microwave. Brush a donut with melted vegan butter, then gently toss inside the cinnamon sugar. Evenly coat the entire donut, and repeat until all donuts are coated. Enjoy!

Just tried this recipe and it turned out amazing i was looking for a good donut recipe for a while and this one hit the spot the donuts are fluffy, tasty and a great snack. Love the cinnamon sugar

I was looking for a dairy-free donut recipe as most recipes have milk, butter and sour cream and your recipe was so good. I know I shouldn't review a recipe if I don't follow it fully but I did make some changes and it is very adaptable.  I did swap 1 egg for the flax egg, I used GF flour and used coconut sugar.  The texture of the donut was on point like a full gluten donut.  I will def come back to this recipe again.
