Vegan Apple Cider Donuts

1 ½ cups apple cider

1 ½ cups flour

½ cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp nutmeg

2 tablespoons vegan buttermelted

2 tablespoons dairy-free milk

2 tablespoons vegan buttermelted

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Start by reducing the apple cider in a small saucepan on the stove. To do this, bring apple cider to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes. Once reduced to about ½ cup, remove from heat and let cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Pour in reduced apple cider, melted vegan butter, and dairy-free milk. Stir to combine, being careful not to over mix! If the batter seems too dry, add extra dairy-free milk in one tablespoon at a time.

Pipe the batter into a prepared donut pan, filling about ¾ of the way full. Bake at 350F for about 10 minutes. Flip baked donuts onto a cooling rack and let cool completely!

To make cinnamon sugar coating, melt vegan butter. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon. Brush the tops of each donut with melted butter and dip into the cinnamon sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Reduce Apple Cider Properly 🍎
Simmer the apple cider over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until reduced by half to concentrate the flavor and remove excess moisture, preventing soggy donuts.
Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Let your dairy-free milk and vegan butter sit at room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth batter and even distribution throughout the donut batter.
Perfect Piping Technique 🎯
Use a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe quickly in one continuous motion to fill donut cavities evenly, avoiding air pockets that create dense spots.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating Timing ✨
Apply the cinnamon sugar mixture while donuts are still warm (but not piping hot) so it adheres perfectly and creates an irresistible caramelized crust.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients gently until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense donuts instead of light and fluffy ones.
