Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Cane sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
• 2.5 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and set aside for about 5 minutes to thicken. This mixture will act as a flax egg substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cane sugar and stir to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Let this mixture sit for a couple of minutes to slightly curdle and create a vegan buttermilk.

Step 5

Add the flaxseed mixture (flax egg) and melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients. Whisk until everything is well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.

Step 7

Fill each donut mold about 3/4 full with the batter. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more precision.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, you can enjoy them plain or add your favorite vegan glaze or toppings to enhance the flavor.
