  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and brush a doughnut pan with vegetable oil.
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In a large measuring jug, add the soy milk, applesauce/aquafaba, melted butter and vanilla and mix together. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
  4. Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each ring ¾ full. Do not overfill.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown. Leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack with a large piece of parchment paper beneath it.
