Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup vegan butter
- 4 cups coconut oil (for frying)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, unsweetened almond milk, and melted coconut oil (1/4 cup). Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters to cut into doughnut shapes.
Heat 4 cups of coconut oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few doughnuts into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Pour 1 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow bowl. While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the sugar until fully coated.
Let the doughnuts cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
