Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 250g flour
- 100g sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 200ml almond milk
- 50g vegan butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 200g powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a donut pan with a little vegan butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 250g flour, 100g sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: 200ml almond milk, 50g melted vegan butter, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; be careful not to over-mix the batter, as this can make the donuts dense.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cavity of the donut pan about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, combine 200g powdered sugar and 2 tbsp plant-based milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or plant-based milk as needed.
- Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops of each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to let the glaze set.
- Enjoy your homemade vegan donuts! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Perfect Your Batter: Be sure to mix your wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. This helps to keep the donuts light and fluffy. Avoid over-mixing to prevent dense donuts!
- Donut Pan Essentials: Greasing your donut pan is crucial to ensure easy removal after baking. You can use vegan butter or a non-stick spray for best results.
- Check for Doneness: To ensure your donuts are perfectly baked, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they’re ready to come out of the oven!
- Customize Your Glaze: Feel free to get creative with your glaze! Add a splash of vanilla extract, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or even a hint of citrus zest to elevate the flavor.
- Storage Tips: Keep your leftover donuts fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’re best enjoyed within two days, but they won’t last long once you taste them!
