Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 1 cup Vegan butter
• 3 tablespoons Chickpea flour
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0 for frying Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Coconut cream
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and vegan butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Allow it to cool until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, granulated sugar, and salt together.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour and water to create a chickpea egg substitute.

Step 4

Add the lukewarm almond milk mixture and the chickpea egg to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Meanwhile, prepare the dairy-free Bavarian cream. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut cream, cornstarch, and powdered sugar. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the cream cool, then transfer it to a piping bag with a round tip.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 10

Using a round cutter, cut out circles of dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 11

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Fry the donuts in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Step 13

Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use the piping bag to fill each donut with the Bavarian cream.

Step 14

Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
