How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Dairy Free Donuts
To keep your donuts fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about 2-3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them.

Tips to Make Cinnamon Sugar Dairy Free Donuts
- Measure your flour correctly to avoid dense donuts. Use a spoon to fluff the flour before scooping it into a measuring cup.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
- For even more flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
Variation
You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for added texture and flavor. Another option is to create a glaze with powdered sugar and almond milk instead of the cinnamon sugar topping.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of non-dairy milk?
Yes! You can use any non-dairy milk like soy, oat, or coconut milk in place of almond milk.
What if I don’t have a donut pan?
You can use a muffin pan instead. Just keep an eye on the baking time, as muffins may take slightly longer to bake.
Can I make these donuts gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just ensure that the blend includes a binding agent for the best results.
