Vegan Chocolate Beetroot Cake

Craving donuts without the mess of deep frying? These Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are soft, fluffy, and coated in a delicious layer of sweet cinnamon sugar — all without touching a drop of oil! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an anytime snack, they’re easy to make and even easier to devour.
For the donuts:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1/2 tsp lemon juice)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan (or use a muffin tin if needed).
Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
Mix wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine and fill:
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly. Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then remove from the pan.
Coat with cinnamon sugar:
While donuts are still warm, brush each with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
Serve and enjoy:
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but they’ll stay soft for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
