Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup vegan cookies (like Oreos), crushed
• 0.25 cup vegan butter
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup additional vegan cookies for topping, crushed

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a little vegetable oil or vegan butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar together. Let sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture. Stir well.

Step 5

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the crushed vegan cookies until evenly distributed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.

Step 9

Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze: In a small bowl, beat together the vegan butter, powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 11

Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 12

Sprinkle the glazed donuts with additional crushed vegan cookies.

Step 13

Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes. Enjoy your vegan cookies and cream donuts!
