Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.75 cup Strawberry jam

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over low heat until warm (not hot), then remove from heat.

Step 2

Add the vegan butter to the warm almond milk and stir until melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm almond milk mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 8

Use a donut cutter or a 3-inch round cutter to cut out donut shapes. Reroll scraps as needed.

Step 9

Place the cut donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to rise again for about 20 minutes.

Step 10

In a large, deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C). Carefully fry the donuts in batches, cooking each side for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from oil and transfer to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

While still warm, roll the donuts in powdered sugar until fully coated.

Step 13

Using a piping bag fitted with a nozzle, pipe about 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam into each donut.

Step 14

Serve fresh and enjoy your homemade vegan jam donuts!
