Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.25 cup vegan butter
• 4 cups coconut oil (for frying)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, unsweetened almond milk, and melted coconut oil (1/4 cup). Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters to cut into doughnut shapes.

Step 6

Heat 4 cups of coconut oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully place a few doughnuts into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Pour 1 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow bowl. While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the sugar until fully coated.

Step 10

Let the doughnuts cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
