How to make vegan baked donuts
As I mentioned previously, you only need one big bowl to make this recipe. Truthfully, anything that doesn’t require a ton of dishes is always a great recipe in my book.
To start, preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a donut pan by lightly coating it with your favorite non-stick spray.
Then, in a large mixing bowl combine almond milk, apple cider vinegar, almond butter, vanilla extract and sugar. Mix with a whisk until ingredients are really well combined.
Next, add in flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a spatula until a thick dough starts to form. Add in your sprinkles last and mix until well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared donut dish and bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool for a few minutes before removing and placing on a cooling rack.
Then in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla and almond milk. Drizzle over cooled donuts and enjoy!
Donuts are best stored in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days.
