Baked Cinnamon Doughnuts

 This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Silk.

Just in time to celebrate Mardi Gras, these Baked Cinnamon Doughnuts will get the party started!  Inspired by the famous New Orleans King Cake.  These dairy free cake donuts are flavored with cinnamon and decorated with traditional Mardi Gras colors!

While I made these donuts for Mardi Gras.  They can be decorated in any colors that you prefer. Pink glaze dipped in red sprinkles would be cute.  Or white glazed donuts dipped in red and blue sugar for a patriotic donut.  The possibilities are endless.

Or, ahem, cream cheese glaze for an Awesome cinnamon bun donut.  Of course, don’t do that if you want these donuts to be dairy free.

Yes.  You read that right.  These Baked Cinnamon Doughnuts are dairy free!

New Silk Cashewmilk is the secret ingredient.  It is extra thick and creamy making it the perfect replacement for butter and milk that would usually be in a donut recipe.

Silk Cashewmilk creates the perfect match between creamy and delicious with fewer calories!

New Silk Cashewmilk has 50% more calcium than dairy milk with only 60 calories per serving! So switching to Silk is an easy way to start adding more plants to your diet.
