Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 chia egg (1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water, soaked for 5 minutes)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Frosting
- 2 cups icing sugar, sifted
- Vegan food colouring (assorted colors)
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease your donut pan to ensure easy removal of donuts after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined. Create a well in the center for the wet ingredients.
- Make Vegan Buttermilk: In a separate jug, combine the almond milk with apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens slightly, forming a vegan buttermilk substitute.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: To the vegan buttermilk, add vanilla extract, the prepared chia egg, and melted coconut oil. Mix gently to blend.
- Form Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients, stirring slowly to combine all until a soft, smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Fill Donut Pan: Using a spoon or piping bag, scoop or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cavities. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula for an even bake.
- Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow donuts to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare Marble Glaze: In a small bowl, place the sifted icing sugar. Add 4-5 drops of various vegan food colorings and gently swirl with a chopstick or fork to create a marbled effect without fully blending the colors.
- Glaze Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the marble glaze, turning to coat the surface. Place on a wire rack to allow excess glaze to drip off and set before serving.
Notes
- Chia egg is made by mixing 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for 5 minutes until gel-like.
- Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing to prevent melting the icing.
- Use vegan food coloring to maintain the recipe’s vegan status.
- You can store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond milk with oat or soy milk, and coconut oil with vegetable oil.
