WHAT YOU NEED

1.5 cups flour of choice

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

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.
