Ingredients
• 1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional, for depth)
• ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened almond)
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or neutral oil
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (activates baking powder, mimics egg lift)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• For coating: ½ cup (100g) sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cavity donut pan well.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, mix milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Let sit 2 min (it will curdle slightly—this is fine!).
- Pour wet into dry; stir just until combined (small lumps OK—overmixing = tough donuts).
- Spoon or pipe batter into pan, filling each cavity ¾ full (a piping bag or zip-top bag works great).
- Bake 10–12 min until springy to touch and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Immediately—while hot—remove donuts, brush lightly with melted butter or oil, then roll in cinnamon-sugar.
- Cool on a rack. Best served same day (they’re at peak tenderness within 4 hours!).
