Donut Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
  • Pour the coconut milk, applesauce, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil and vanilla into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well with a large spoon to combine. The batter will be similar to cake batter - not too thick but not very runny either. 
  • Spoon the batter into the donut pan, or fill a large ziplock bag with the batter, cut a hole in the corner and pipe into the pan, filling to about 3/4 of the way full. Be careful not to overfill the pan or the donuts will overflow as they bake.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the donuts are firm on the outside. Then let the donuts cool completely.

Donut Topping Instructions

  • Stir together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a medium bowl, and melt the coconut oil in a separate bowl. 
  • Once the donuts are cooled, dunk the donuts in the melted coconut oil and then dunk each donut into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. 
  • Serve and enjoy!
