WHAT YOU NEED
1.5 cups flour of choice
1/2 cup AURA Vanilla Plant Based Protein
1/2 cup organic cane/coconut or monk fruit sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1⁄4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1⁄4 cups apple cider
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1⁄3 cup apple sauce
1⁄4 cup vegan butter, melted (can sub-melted coconut oil or vegetable oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
WHAT TO DO
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined. Do not overmix. (It’s okay if theres a few small clumps in the batter. It doesn’t need to be completely smooth.)
- Using a piping bag, (or a large ziplock bag with the corner cut out) pipe the dough into the donut moulds filling 3/4 of the way.
- Bake for 9—11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- To coat the donuts, mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a ziplock bag. Lightly coat each donut with a little melted butter or coconut oil and then place each donut in the bag and shake it around until it’s covered.
