Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (for brushing)

Optional

  • Smoked turkey bacon, crisped and chopped finely (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: Combine the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend), baking powder, granulated sugar, and cinnamon (natural) in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk (plant-based), unsweetened applesauce, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), melted coconut oil, and natural gelling agent. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the donuts light and tender.
  2. Fill the Donut Pan: Lightly grease your donut pan with coconut oil or cooking spray. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each mold about two-thirds full with the batter to allow proper rising without overflow.
  3. Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the donuts for 12 to 15 minutes until they are golden on top and spring back slightly when touched.
  4. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the donuts cool just enough to handle, mix cinnamon (natural) and granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Lightly brush each donut with melted coconut oil and gently toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let the donuts cool slightly and serve warm. They pair perfectly with tea or your favorite morning beverage. Optionally, garnish with chopped nuts, plant-based glaze, or mini plant-based chocolate chips.

Notes

  • Use fresh cinnamon (natural) for maximum flavor potency.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a fluffy texture.
  • Fill the donut molds evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  • Allow donuts to cool until warm but not hot before coating to prevent sugar from melting off.
  • Customize the cinnamon and sugar ratio in the coating to your taste preference.
