How to Make Baked Vegan Pumpkin Spice Donuts
  1. Prepare Vegan Buttermilk: Combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl; let it sit for 5-6 minutes until it curdles slightly.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a six-well donut pan.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the vegan buttermilk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients; stir gently.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag and fill each donut well about ¾ full.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean; cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  7. Prepare Sugar Coating: Mix organic cane sugar with pumpkin spice; have melted vegan butter ready for coating.
  8. Coat Donuts: Dip each donut in melted butter, then roll in the sugar-spice mixture; place on a cooling rack to set.
