  • all-purpose flour 2 cups
  • granulated sugar 1/2 cup
  • baking powder 1 teaspoon
  • salt 1/2 teaspoon
  • unsweetened almond milk 3/4 cup
  • coconut oil 1/4 cup (melted)
  • vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
  • vegetable oil enough for frying
  • dairy-free chocolate chips 1 cup
  • coconut oil (for the glaze) 2 tablespoons

Take note
Be careful not to overmix the dough, as it can result in dense donuts. Also, make sure to let the donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting away.

1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

2

Add the Wet Ingredients

Add 3/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

3

Form the Donuts

Roll the dough into a ball and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes. Set aside.

4

Fry the Donuts

Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully drop a few donuts into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining donuts.

5

Make the Chocolate Glaze

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

6

Glaze the Donuts

Dip each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze, gently shaking off any excess. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
