Why You’ll Love Vegan Apple Cider Donuts
The secret of apple cider donuts is to use sweet apple cider vinegar that has been boiled until it looks like a sweet syrup. The result is sweet, lightly tangy apple donuts coated with cinnamon sugar that taste like classic donuts with a healthy twist.
Ingrédients et substitutions
All you need to make these healthy baked donuts are:
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour or all-purpose flour.
- Sucre de noix de coco or brown sugar.
- Huile de coco fondue – You can also use melted vegan butter or any oil like light olive oil or canola oil.
- La cannelle – for a classic donut taste.
- Ginger – to give it extra zing.
- Compote de pommes non sucrée – applesauce acts as a binder in the recipe.
- Lait d'amande or any non-dairy milk you love, like oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
- Extrait de vanille – for even more taste.
- Le vinaigre de cidre – You can use pure apple cider vinegar or boil a cup of apple cider vinegar and reduce it to 1/2 cup to make a true apple cider donuts recipe. Boiling the vinegar makes the recipe less tangy and sweeter, but it takes more time because you will have to cool the boiled vinegar in the fridge for an hour before using it in the recipe.
- La levure chimique – this gives the donuts a bit of rise.
How To Make Vegan Apple Cider Donuts
This is a very easy vegan apple cider donuts recipe, without eggs or dairy and using minimal ingredients.
If you choose to boil the vinegar, place one cup of apple cider vinegar in a non-stick saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat, and on low-boil, cook until it reduces to 1/2 cup. It takes a good 30 minutes.
Cool down in a glass bowl, then refrigerate before using the vinegar in the recipe. You can make this step the day before. Most recipes won’t boil and reduce the vinegar. In fact, this recipe also works without boiling the vinegar but the donuts then taste tangy and vinegary.
You may like to increase the sugar by 1/4 cup to balance the sour taste of the vinegar if you don’t boil it. Another idea is to replace all the vinegar with apple juice or 1/3 cup of apple juice with two tablespoons of vinegar for a quick no-boil vinegar donuts recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a donut pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, stir all the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cinnamon (photo 1).
- Fold in the wet ingredients: melted vegan butter or oil of choice, cooled vinegar, vanilla extract, apple sauce, and almond milk (photo 2).
- Stir with a spatula until the batter is smooth and lightly thick (photo 3).
- Fill a piping bag with the donut batter and pipe the batter into the greased donut mold (photo 4).
- Fill the donut pan to 3/4 their level (photo 5). If you don’t have a piping bag, fill the donut pan with a spoon.
- Bake the donuts on the center rack of the oven for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the donuts comes out clean.
- Remove the donuts from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack for about 20 minutes.
- While the donuts cool down, melt vegan butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Set aside at room temperature. Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating in another bowl by stirring sugar and ground cinnamon together (photo 6). Set it aside.
- When the donuts are still lukewarm but easy to handle by hand, brush melted vegan butter on both sides (photo 7).
- Dip them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them.

Échanges d'allergies
Below are some ingredient substitution ideas if you need.
- Sans noix – Swap the almond milk for soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
- Vegan Butter Swap – Use melted, cooled coconut oil, light olive oil, or canola oil.
- sans gluten – I didn’t try all-purpose gluten-free flour for this recipe. I guess it could work with similar ratio if your gluten-free flour blend contains added gum.
- Apple Cider Vinegar Swap – If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, you can use 1/3 cup of apple juice with two tablespoons of white vinegar for this recipe. The recipe works with apple juice only if you prefer a sweet apple donut recipe.
