Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Turmeric (optional, for color)
• 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk (for cream filling)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Warm the almond milk until lukewarm and mix in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and optional turmeric for color.

Step 3

Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and stir well.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the cream filling. In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round donut cutter or a glass to cut out circles.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

Allow the donuts to cool slightly, then fill them with the cooled cream by piping it into the center of each donut.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
