Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 6 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Aquafaba (chickpea water)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and vegan butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let it cool until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the lukewarm milk mixture, vanilla extract, and aquafaba to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface.

Step 7

Using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (one large and one small), cut out doughnut shapes. Reroll and cut the remaining dough until used up.

Step 8

Place the cut doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the doughnuts, a few at a time, and fry for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 10

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.

Step 11

While the doughnuts are still warm, dip each one into the glaze, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow the excess glaze to drip off onto a wire rack.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving these irresistible vegan doughnuts.
