Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond or oat milk, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a slightly thick batter.
  4. Grease donut molds and fill each cavity about three-quarters full with the batter.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for around 25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While the donuts bake, mix together sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  7. Allow donuts to cool for about 5 minutes, then brush with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
