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).
