Celebrate the holiday season with vegan gingerbread mini bundt cakes. These individual cakes are perfect for a special dessert.
How are you on this snowy morning? Is it snowy where you are? We have a little bit on the ground here, just enough to make it seem pretty and wintry and holiday-ish.
Actually, a few things happened this weekend to make me feel holiday-ish: the snow, playing the first holiday concert of the season, buying my favorite, must-have holiday lotion from Williams-Sonoma, and making a gingerbread recipe!
I love my pumpkin recipes in the fall…they are my favorite! But once December hits (or I guess mid-November this year), I am all about gingerbread. We make gingerbread cakes, and cookies, and a gingerbread house, too! Give me all the gingerbread.
These mini gingerbread bundt cakes would be so sweet for a Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert. They are spicy and incredibly moist. They even freeze well – (I froze one to test it out) so you could do them ahead of time and then just warm them up a bit before serving. A little dusting of powdered sugar on top is the perfect finish…like the snow on the ground. :)
Gingerbread Mini Bundt Cakes.
These vegan gingerbread mini bundt cakes are moist, spicy, and the perfect end to a holiday meal!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan buttery spread melted
- 1 Tablespoon molasses
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 6 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups whole spelt flour regular whole wheat flour is okay, too
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 6 mini bundts. If you have the individual mini bundts, then line them up on a rimmed cookie sheet.
-
Put the vegan buttery spread in a large bowl and microwave for 35 seconds, or until melted.
-
Stir in the molasses, unsweetened applesauce, unsweetened coconut milk, and vinegar.
-
Add the brown sugar, and mix together.
-
In a separate bowl combine the whole spelt flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini bundt pans, filling each one 3/4 full.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for about 26-29 minutes.
I have several of the individual mini bundt pans that I found at a thrift store this summer, like these
If you need more of these, go ahead and double the recipe. If you want to make these into cupcakes instead, I think that would work just fine, but the baking time would be reduced.
Did you do anything this weekend to get into the holiday spirit? What’s your favorite gingerbread recipe? Or is there another flavor that says Christmas to you?

Gingerbread everything! It so makes me feel festive and joyful!
I am SO ready for all the gingerbread flavored things! I have been on the lookout for a good Christmas dessert and I’m loving this idea :)
These are too cute! It just snowed here yesterday so I’m feeling all Christmas-y and gingerbread-y… I am so in the mood to have one of these!
How exciting that you are getting snow! It looks like your little gingerbread bundt cakes got some snow too with the powdered sugar, *wink*. They sound delicious!
It was nice to see a little snow, especially since we were tucked inside our warm house. :)
I love to make mini bundt cakes, sometimes we make 3 or 4 different recipes at the same time. They just seem to taste better.
Ooh, good idea to do a variety!
These are so cute and I love that mini size! It doesn’t make me feel as bad when I end up eating 3.. ;)
I know, right? ;)
These gingerbread bundt cakes are soo cute! I just can’t wait for gingerbread season to come in full swing! The cup of coffee I bought today had snow flakes, reindeer, and doves drawn all over it. Does that count as getting into the holiday spirit?
Thanks, Lisa! Yes, I think that counts! :)
I am SO excited for ginger-bread season! Wait to kick if off in an awesome way, Kelly! These little bundt cakes look totally perfect. :)
these are so cute! love it!
Kelly, if I needed to make these gluten free, could I? What flour would you recommend other than Spelt?
I have not tried them gluten free, but if I was going to, I would try a 50/50 mix of gf oat flour and almond flour. I hope that works!
