Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for glaze)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes to curdle.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the almond milk mixture, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 11

Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving.
