Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

Donuts

  • ¾ cups cake flour sifted
  • ¾ cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon ground
  • ½ cup apple cider
  • ¼ cup soy milk or other plant-based milk
  • 3 tbsp applesauce unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted

Topping

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil melted

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Pour in the apple cider, soy milk, applesauce, and melted coconut oil. Mix well with a large spoon to combine, be careful not to over-mix.
  • Spoon the batter into the donut pan, or use a piping bag with a large tip to pipe it evenly into each donut cavity, filling about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown and they spring back when lightly pressed.
  • Cool in the pan for about 2 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Continue with all of the remaining batters.
  • While they are baking, make the topping: Stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then melt the vegan butter or coconut oil in a separate bowl.
  • Brush each donut with a little vegan butter or coconut oil on all sides, then dip into the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat well. You could also just brush the top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar instead of coating the entire donut.
  • Enjoy! They are best served right away but can be kept in an airtight container for 2 days.
