Vegan Snickerdoodle Doughnuts

I wanted to make snickerdoodle doughnuts after I had spotted a recipe online. Only they called for frying them, which I really don’t like to do! So I did some testing and came up with this recipe for a baked version. The result is alright.

Vegan Snickerdoodle Doughnuts

Makes 12 miniature doughnuts.

  • 3 Tbsp Sugar

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Grease the doughnut pan. Place a bit of the cinnamon sugar mixture at the bottom of each well. Shake the pan until the cinnamon sugar coats all the walls.
  4. In a large bowl, cream the 1 cup sugar and butter.
  5. Mix in the apple sauce.
  6. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined.
  7. Press the dough in each well of the doughnut pan.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes.
