If your coffee addiction and sweet tooth had a wild fling, these doughnuts would be their scandalous, golden-drizzled lovechild.
They’re soft, moist, and unapologetically caffeinated—basically, everything you wanted from your last situationship but in edible form.
And that caramel drizzle? It’s not a garnish; it’s a lifestyle choice that says, “Yes, I deserve this level of luxury.”
Each bite feels like a hug from your barista and a wink from a pastry chef who knows you skipped breakfast again.
No judgment. Just doughnuts. With coffee. And caramel. Because balance.
Coffee Doughnuts with Caramel Drizzle
Vegan coffee doughnuts baked to perfection and drenched in a rich, golden caramel drizzle that tastes like pure caffeinated indulgence.
Ingredients
For the Doughnuts:
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- ¼ cup unsweetened plant milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
For the Caramel Drizzle:
- ¼ cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the doughnut pan like it owes you money.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon like you’re on a cooking show.
- In another bowl, combine coffee, milk, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Mix like your weekend depends on it.
- Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—this isn’t therapy.
- Spoon batter evenly into the doughnut pan. Smooth it out with a little sass.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and puffed with confidence.
- Cool the doughnuts on a rack while you prepare the caramel like a goddess in control.
- In a saucepan, simmer coconut cream, sugar, maple syrup, and salt over low heat until thick and glossy.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and drizzle that luscious caramel all over the cooled doughnuts.
- Devour immediately, or save for later if you have actual restraint (lol).
