Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup coconut sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, coconut sugar, and pinch of salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk and lemon juice, then let it sit for a few minutes to curdle and form a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture and stir well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, scoop batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping each scoop into a small ball. Aim for around 1-inch diameter per ball.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 8

While the Tim Bits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar with water. Adjust the consistency as needed.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the Tim Bits from the oven and let them cool slightly before dipping each one in the glaze.

Step 10

Let the glazed Tim Bits set on a wire rack or parchment paper before serving.
