Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons Melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Vegan powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0 as needed Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the almond milk mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two concentric round cutters to cut out doughnut shapes, making sure to re-roll any scraps.

Step 6

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C).

Step 7

Gently place a few doughnuts into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove doughnuts from the oil and drain them on paper towels.

Step 9

While the doughnuts cool slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and almond milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Dip each doughnut into the glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip off. Place on a wire rack to set.

Step 11

Enjoy your homemade vegan doughnuts fresh, preferably warm!
