Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cups applesauce
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- as needed vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). There should be enough oil to allow the donuts to float freely.
Spoon the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip, or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
Carefully pipe rounds of batter into the hot oil, cooking in batches. Fry the donuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Once all donuts are fried, allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each warm donut in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your fluffy, dairy-free powdered sugar donuts!
