Equipment

  • mini muffin pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup vegan butter - melted
  • ¾ cup almond milk
  • ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Optional

  • cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl, combine applesauce, melted butter, dairy free half and half, apple cide vinegar and vanilla.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir until just combined. Batter may be slightly lumpy but shouldn't have streaks of flour.
  • Pour batter into piping bag or ziplock bag and snip off the corner. Or use a pancake pen instead (my favorite).
  • Fill each space of the mini muffin pan 3/4 full.
  • Place on center rack in oven and bake for 8-11 minutes. Immediately remove the donut bites directly onto a cooling rack. Start your next batch of donuts while the first batch cools.

Optional

  • Mix together optional cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip in a little melted butter, let the excess drip off and then dip in cinnamon and sugar mixture. Dip all of them once and then start again to dip them a second time. This gives them a nicer coating. Enjoy!
  • Store in an air tight container for up to 36 hours at room temperature. Best when fresh.
