Jump to Recipe

These muffins are reminiscent of cinnamon sugar donuts, but with a chai twist. They’re made up of deliciously fluffy chai muffins coated in melted vegan butter and then a cinnamon sugar mixture. They are beyond delicious.

Ingredients

The delicious chai-spiced muffins are made of the following ingredients:

  • nondairy milk + apple cider vinegar
  • all-purpose flour
  • salt
  • baking soda and baking powder
  • nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, allspice and cinnamon
  • granulated sugar
  • canola oil
  • vanilla extract

And the coating is simply:

  • vegan butter
  • granulated sugar and cinnamon

Mini Muffins

You can make these into mini muffins too! Use a mini muffin tin and fill the cavities about 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 8-12 minutes. The amounts for the coating may vary slightly, use more or less as needed.

    Can you substitute canola oil with a different oil? Like olive oil?

      You can use any oil, however we prefer canola for its neutral flavor!

    I made these today. They are sooooo good! I substituted coconut oil for the canola because that is what I had. They taste great and will be perfect for Fall. Thank you for the recipe!

    If I wanted to put these in a donut pan instead any thoughts on how long to cook it for? I might still do muffins, but it was a fun thought.

    These are absolutely delicious!! I’ve made them twice. I did have to add 2/3 cup more of soy milk to be able to pour the batter each time. Definitely a fav in our house!
