A tasty recipe for light, fluffy, baked cinnamon sugar donuts. Plus, they're dairy-free!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ½ cup dairy-free yogurt plain or vanilla-flavored
- ½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons almond milk or other non-dairy milk
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted, or non-dairy butter alternative
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For topping
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted, or non-dairy butter alternative

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 6-cavity donut pans generously with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in brown sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, milk, butter and vanilla extract. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture just until combined.

- Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. All the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then trasnfer to a cooling rack.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping in a small, low bowl. Brush the donuts generously with melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. You can repeat with a second toss in the sugar for extra coating.
