Vegan Baked Molasses Donuts
Moist and fluffy baked molasses donuts that can be done in under 40 minutes and that are ridiculously easy to make.
Ingredients
- 95 g all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 80 g molasses
- 15 g plain vegan yogurt
- 73 g plant based milk
- 10 g neutral oil, (grapeseed, canola, vegetable...)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract or paste
- pinch black pepper
Sugar
- powdered sugar, white granulated sugar or coarse sugar
- cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F and grease your donut pan if it’s not non-stick.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the molasses, yogurt, milk, oil, vanilla and black pepper.
- Add in the flour mixture and whisk just until smooth.
- Pipe (using a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner cut off) or spoon the batter a bit more than halfway up the mold.
- Bake for about 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool about 3-5 minutes in the pan before removing and tossing in the sugar of your choice.
Notes
- *Disclaimer: I have a tiny not-so-great oven, so your bake time may vary from mine.
- I strongly suggest making recipes by weight, if you make them by cups I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same results.
- If using granulated or coarse sugar to coat the donuts, it might not stick to their smooth side. If you want full coverage, lightly brush that side with melted coconut oil or vegan butter before dipping in sugar.
- The mold I use makes donuts that are on the smaller side so you might need more batter depending on the size of yours.
