Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 doughnuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a non-stick doughnut pan with vegetable oil or vegan cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the doughnuts tough.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner cut off for easy piping into the doughnut pan.
- Carefully pipe the batter into each doughnut cavity, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently transferring to a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish and gently roll each doughnut to coat evenly with the sugar.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough doughnuts, so be gentle with your batter!
- Use a Piping Bag: For a clean and easy transfer of the batter into the doughnut pan, use a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner snipped off. This helps to achieve perfectly shaped doughnuts without the mess.
- Check for Doneness: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your doughnuts as they bake. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they’re ready to come out!
- Cool Before Coating: Allow your doughnuts to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents them from breaking apart and ensures they hold their shape.
- Customize Your Coating: While powdered sugar is classic, feel free to get creative! Try rolling them in cinnamon sugar, or drizzle with a simple vegan glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
