Cinnamon Sugar Dairy Free Donuts
Try these rich baked dairy free donuts, coated in sweet cinnamon sugar! It’s the ultimate dairy free donut that your family will love – made with just six ingredients.
Ingredients
Donuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled - important!)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup dairy-free butter, melted (Earth Balance tub/sticks or Country Crock plant butter sticks)
- ½ cup vanilla almond milk
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- ¼ cup dairy-free butter, melted (Earth Balance tub/sticks or Country Crock plant butter sticks)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, and grease a donut pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
-
Pour the melted butter and almond milk into the dry ingredients. (Batter will be slightly thick).
-
Pour donut batter into the greased pan, and place in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-13 minutes, or until a knife pulls out clean.
-
When donuts are done, let cool for a few minutes in the pan until you can comfortably handle them. Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping. Melt the dairy-free butter in one bowl, and in a second separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.
-
Take each donut and dip it in the melted dairy-free butter, then dip in the cinnamon sugar. Enjoy while still slightly warm!
Recipe Notes
- *Remember to spoon and level your flour, otherwise the batter may be too dry. The batter for this recipe is slightly thick, but should not be lumpy or dry. If it is not the correct texture, add another splash or two of almond milk until it reaches the correct texture.
- The choice of dairy-free butter can affect the outcome of baked goods. For this recipe, I have tested it with both Earth Balance (tub and sticks) and Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks with Avocado Oil. I do not recommend using a nut-based butter or another margarine for this recipe, as these contain different water ratios.
- Butter must be melted for this recipe, not softened.
