Fluffy & soft vegan gingerbread spiced baked donuts.
Homemade Vegan Gingerbread Baked Donuts that are simple and easy to make and perfect for the holiday season.
Now that I know how easy it is to make donuts at home, you will not see me at a donut shop for a long time.
Homemade baked donuts are so simple to make with no deep frying required.
You just make the batter, pipe it into a donut pan, bake, roll in cinnamon-sugar, and enjoy warm!
How to make Gingerbread Baked Donuts:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the milk, oil, melted butter, molasses, and vanilla. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan, OR fill a large ziplock bag with the batter, cut a hole in the corner and pipe into the pan, filling about 3/4 of the way full. Be careful not to overfill, as the donuts will rise.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. While donuts are baking, whisk together cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Let donuts cool for two or three minutes in the pan then toss in cinnamon sugar.
