Cinnamon Streusel Donuts (Gluten Free, Vegan).
These cinnamon streusel donuts are perfectly tender and delicious, and have a crunchy, sugary, oat topping. These are just right for autumn.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup vegan buttery spread melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
- ¾ cup gluten free flour
- ¼ cup gluten free oat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ½ cup water or apple cider
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1 ½ Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons certified gluten free oats
- 1 Tablespoon vegan buttery spread
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a donut pan. (I recommend greasing and flouring the pan even if it is non-stick. It just makes it easier to remove the donuts).
-
Put the vegan buttery spread, brown sugar, and applesauce in a bowl and stir well.
-
Add the gluten free flour blend, oat flour, salt, baking powder, and spices to the bowl. Add the vinegar and water and stir until smooth.
-
Spoon the mixture into the donut pan, and smooth out with the back of the spoon.
-
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, vegan buttery spread, and oats. Sprinkle this streusel topping on the donut batter in the pan.
-
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then overturn the pan and tap on the bottom to remove donuts.
Recipe Notes
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for two days.
