Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil or plant-based butter for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar (natural), and brown sugar (natural) until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until just combined without overworking the batter.
  2. Fill Your Donut Pan: Lightly grease a donut pan using vegetable oil or plant-based butter to prevent sticking. Spoon the batter into each mold, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for rising while baking.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the donuts for about 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The donuts should be golden brown and spring back gently when touched.
  4. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the donuts are still warm, mix granulated sugar (natural) with extra ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Gently dip each donut in melted vegetable oil or plant-based butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Place the coated donuts on a wire rack to cool slightly before enjoying them warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep donuts light and airy.
  • Use a piping bag to fill the donut molds evenly for a neater finish.
  • Coat the donuts while still warm for a perfect sticky cinnamon sugar finish.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help batter blend smoothly and rise well.
  • Grease your donut pan properly to avoid sticking.
