Ingredients

icing options:

    sprinkles

    • ¾ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tablespoon dairy free milk or more
    • ¼ cup sprinkles

    chocolate

    • cup vegan chocolate chips melted
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tablespoon dairy free milk or more

    maple

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°.
    • In a large bowl, whisk coconut oil, applesauce, milk, and vanilla together -- make sure the oil is at room temperature or else it'll solidify!
    • To that same bowl, fold in the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined -- don't over-mix!
    • Spray your donut pan with nonstick spray, then scoop the batter into the pan. You can pipe it in if you prefer, or you can use a spoon and your fingers to press it in.
    • Bake donuts for 10-12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, then wait 5 minutes before carefully inverting them onto a cooling rack. Wait until donuts are cool before icing them.

    for the icing:

    • Choose your icing option, then whisk all of the ingredients together. Dip each donut into the icing, then place it back onto the cooling rack and wait a few minutes for the icing to solidify.

    Notes

    *Calories are for 1 donut and are an estimation 
    *For less mess, you can pipe the donut batter into your donut pan; if you don't want to go that route (I didn't), use a spoon and your fingers to press the batter into the pan
    *Storage: these donuts are best when eaten fresh/the day you make them. If you want to freeze them, don't ice them and wait for them to come to room temperature before individually wrapping them in plastic wrap and storing in a freezer-safe bag.
