Coffee and brown sugar walked into your kitchen and decided to make your morning less boring and way more deliciously dramatic.
These doughnuts are soft, warmly spiced, and dripping with enough personality to cancel your meeting and your diet.
Think of them as a caffeine-infused hug with a sweet brown sugar crust—because your tastebuds deserve main-character energy.
They’re fully vegan, totally addictive, and unapologetically decadent, just like you before your second cup of oat milk latte.
Let’s bake something bold, comforting, and sweet enough to forgive Monday for showing up again like it owns the place.
Coffee and Brown Sugar Doughnuts
Soft, pillowy coffee-flavored doughnuts sweetened with brown sugar, baked to golden perfection, and vegan—because we’re sweet but still woke.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar light or dark, live your truth
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- ¼ cup unsweetened plant milk almond, oat, etc.
- 1½ tbsp neutral oil sunflower or canola
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your doughnut pan. No one likes a doughnut that won’t come out.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Yes, dry drama first.
- In a separate bowl, combine coffee, milk, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Give it a good stir like your ex’s texts—brief.
- Add wet to dry and mix until just combined. If it’s too smooth, you’re doing too much.
- Spoon batter into pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full—don’t get greedy.
- Bake for 13–14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and you smell something fabulous.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack like the classy woman you are.
- Optional but highly recommended: brush tops with warm coffee syrup or dust with cinnamon sugar.
- Pair with your favorite mug and a moment of peace—if that still exists.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container (if there are any, you beast).
