Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Pistachio nuts, shelled and chopped
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or use a silicone donut mold.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped pistachios, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into one of the donuts comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops of each donut into the glaze and return to the wire rack to set. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios if desired.
Enjoy your homemade dairy-free pistachio donuts!
