Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons Melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Vegan powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- as needed Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk everything together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the almond milk mixture, stirring to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two concentric round cutters to cut out doughnut shapes, making sure to re-roll any scraps.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C).
Gently place a few doughnuts into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove doughnuts from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
While the doughnuts cool slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and almond milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Dip each doughnut into the glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip off. Place on a wire rack to set.
Enjoy your homemade vegan doughnuts fresh, preferably warm!
