Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce or mashed banana
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (optional, if frying)
Instructions:
For Baked Donuts:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan lightly with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix apple sauce or mashed banana, plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Create the batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fill the donut pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean.
- Cool and glaze: Allow the donuts to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Top with powdered sugar, cinnamon, or your favorite glaze.
For Fried Donuts:
- Prepare the dough: Follow steps 2-4 above.
- Heat oil: Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Shape the donuts: Roll the dough into balls or use a donut cutter to shape them.
- Fry: Fry the donuts in batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Cool and serve: Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar or dip in a glaze for extra sweetness.
