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!

I use a silicone donut mold to bake these donuts - if you use another type of donut mold you may have to adjust the cooking time.
