Ingredients

Wet:

  • 1/2 cup non dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp active yeast
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (refined for neutral flavor or use other oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a generous pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon

Dry:

  • 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Glaze:

  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp non dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp refined coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate chips

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180ºc. Grease a doughnut pan.
  2. Warm non dairy milk and maple and sugar in a saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave. The mixture should be jut warm to touch. Mix well to combine the sugar. Add yeast and mix in. Let sit for 5 mins to activate. Add oil, vanilla, spices and mix in.
  3. Add flours, baking powder, salt and whisk well to make a smooth batter. Let the batter sit for 10 mins. It should increase in volume. Transfer to a ziplock. Snip one of the ends of the bag and pour into greased donut pan. Or use a spoon to fill the greased doughnut pan. I usually like to fill them a bit more than half to make thinner donuts rather than very tall results. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F / 180ºc for 11 to 12 mins.
  5. Cool for a minute. Tap to release, cool completely before adding a glaze.
  6. Dip in prepared glaze and let it sit in a cool place for a few minutes to set. Serve.

Glaze:

  1. Mix the sugar and milk over medium heat. Add oil and mix in. Take off heat. Add chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Whisk to melt until smooth. Dip the doughnuts to coat, or drizzle the chocolate on the doughnuts.
