Method

Baking the Donuts

  1. 1

    Prepare the Donut Pan

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the applesauce, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fill the Pan

    Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool

    Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Cinnamon Sugar Coating

    In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Roll the cooled donuts in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
