Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter, melted
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the donuts have a lightly golden brown color.

Step 7

While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cool, dip or dust the donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
