Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Stir until the wet ingredients are fully mixed.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid dense donuts.

Step 5

Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove them and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip them into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over the top. Place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.

Step 10

Enjoy your Dairy-Free Classic Glazed Donuts fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
