In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil (2 tablespoons), and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until the ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil (3 cups) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, gently drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the tim bits from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the tim bits are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar until well-coated.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two days. Enjoy your dairy-free tim bits!
