In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the baking powder and salt are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dairy-free shredded cheese into the batter, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Preheat a donut pan by brushing it with melted coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Carefully fill the each well of the donut pan about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Dairy-Free Cheese Donuts warm as a savory snack or alongside your favorite meal.
