These easy delish cinnamon and sugar vegan baked donuts are the perfect fix when you are itching for a donut. If I am being real honest I much prefer a oil fried donut, but these are still pretty darn tasty!
I served these to multiple kids and friends trying to get this recipe down. All around it was a thumbs up.
I like that baked donuts don’t make your kitchen a greasy mess and have an easy clean up.
But if you are looking for more a real oil fried donuts I have two spectacular recipes. This vegan apple cider donut and this pumpkin spice donut.
There is something about the fall weather that screams donuts to me.
I was originally going for an apple cider or pumpkin baked donut when I started this venture, but realized that a cinnamon sugar one would be tasty as well!
