2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp salt

Prepration for:Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts (Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free)

Step 1/5

Prepare the Oven & Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.

Step 2/5

Mix the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir just until combined (do not overmix).

Step 3/5

Fill the Donut Pan

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

Step 4/5

Bake

Bake for 14–16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. Let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 5/5

Cinnamon Sugar Finish

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush each warm donut lightly with melted coconut oil, then dip in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: Don’t skip the apple cider vinegar! It reacts with the baking powder to create a fluffy texture. Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2–3 days or freeze for later indulgence.
