Baked or fried donuts?

Traditional donuts are fried, but I just love to bake these donuts in a donut pan. Baked donuts make life a lot easier. It is less messy and you won't smell like a frying oil afterward haha!

And most importantly, baking donuts is a lot healthier than frying the in oil. So if you want to make donuts in a slightly better and healthier version, try this recipe.

So how you can make these delicious baked cinnamon sugar donuts?

First of all, find a larger bowl and combine all the dry ingredients, which are rice flour, gluten-free oat flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

These are the dry ingredients, now add in wet ones. I added mashed banana, soy milk, melted vegan butter, vinegar, and vanilla extract.

Mix all of these ingredients together and make such a creamy and soft batter. It should be really fluffy and light.

Then grease your donut baking pan with vegan butter. This step is really important unless you are using a silicone pan. The donuts will not stick to a pan and you can take them out of the pan very easily. However, you can use oil, of you like to.

Next, pour batter into the prepared donut pan. Bake it for about 12-15 mins. I baked mine for 15, but it really depends on your oven. Some ovens bake quickly than others.

After baking, prepare your melted vegan butter, because you are going to brush each donut with it, so the cinnamon sugar will stick to them.

After brushing each donut with melted butter immediately cover them with cinnamon sugar, that you made by mixing cinnamon and brown sugar.

Now, these cinnamon sugar donuts are done. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee, tea, or on its own.

These donuts are really delicious. Cinnamon makes them really fragrant and gives you nice fall vibes. Everything with cinnamon makes me feel cozy and relaxed. This is a perfect fall treat that you can prepare in just a few minutes, and everyone will love it!
