In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and let sit for about 5 minutes to create vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the vegan buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined to form a dough.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the donut holes for about 2-3 minutes per batch, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown.
Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Once the donut holes are slightly cooled, dip each one into the vanilla glaze and place them on a wire rack to allow the excess glaze to drip off and set.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
