6 step plant-based cinnamon sugar desserts
Hey hey,
I’ve been doing a little something something in the kitchen for my kids. My kids love treats and I don’t mind them having them. But I would much rather make them from scratch to prevent any added sugar or additives. But if baking does not come naturally to you, like me, you are probably looking for something quick, easy, and tasty. I’ve come up with two delicious, simple, and kid-friendly recipes that make for a great treat! One day my daughter asked for donuts so I made her some puff instead. They are a cross between donuts and muffins with a delicious cinnamon-sugar topping. I use gluten-free flour but feel free to use regular all-purpose flour.
The next was more for me but ended up being something my kids love too. Can’t have anything to myself lmao. Coffee cake, it’s got traditional coffee cake flavors with yummy brown sugar and it’s pretty easy to throw together. I like to make these muffin size but you can make it in a regular cake pan as well.
Both of these recipes were made with my favorite nutpods creamers. One day I ran out of homemade almond milk, I used the nutpods and found that they work great for baking, not to mention a delish diary free addition to my morning coffee.
Donut Puffs
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour
1/4 tsp Allspice
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Butter, unsalted
6 tbsp Butter melted
1/2 cup nutpods french vanilla oat creamer
1 large egg (use a flax egg to keep it vegan)
INSTRUCTION:
Heat 1/2 cup butter. Then set aside and allow to cool.
Pre-heat oven to 350. Add sugar and egg to cooled butter. Mix with mixer. You can mix by hand but the mixer will take less time and end up a bit fluffier.
In a separate bowl combine the rest of the ingredients. Add the combined dry ingredient to the egg, butter, and sugar mixture.
Pour batter into greased muffin tin. Pop them in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
Put the rest of the melted sugar in a dish. Combine the rest of the sugar and cinnamon and put into a different dish.
When puffs are done, dip each first into the butter and then into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Enjoy nice and warm.
