Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and coconut sugar until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to activate the vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the melted coconut oil and unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients, whisking until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix the two mixtures together using a spatula until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cavity of the donut pan about 3/4 full with the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts have risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, feel free to glaze or sprinkle your donuts with toppings of choice, like powdered sugar or a dairy-free glaze.
