- ¾ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoon melted vegan butter (regular butter is okay if not vegan)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour

How To Make Crumb Cake Donuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease 16 donut molds with non-stick spray.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until you have a crumbly mixture. Set this aside for later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda. Then, add the flour and mix until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Now, transfer the batter into the greased donut molds, filling each one about ⅔ full. Afterward, generously top each donut with the prepared crumb mixture.
Bake the donuts in your preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until they are nicely golden.
Once your Crumb Cake Donuts are done baking, allow them to cool before carefully removing them from their molds. They can be served warm or at room temperature, and for an extra touch of sweetness, consider drizzling them with a creamy cream cheese frosting. Enjoy these scrumptious donuts whenever your sweet tooth calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cool Completely: Allow the donuts to cool to room temperature. Storing them while they are still warm can create excess moisture and make them soggy.
Single Layer: Place the donuts in a single layer in an airtight container or on a plate. If you're stacking them, separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain their crumbly topping.
Airtight Container: If using a container, make sure it has an airtight seal to prevent air from getting in. A resealable plastic bag can also work well.
Room Temperature: These donuts are typically best enjoyed within 1-2 days at room temperature. However, if you anticipate keeping them for a longer period, it's better to refrigerate or freeze them.
Refrigeration: If storing for a longer period, refrigerate the donuts in an airtight container. Be aware that refrigeration might make them a bit firmer. They can last for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing: For extended storage, you can freeze the donuts. Wrap each donut individually in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag. They can stay good in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
Thawing: When you're ready to enjoy the frozen donuts, simply remove them from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature. Optionally, you can warm them in the microwave for a short time to regain some of their original texture.
