Ingredients
  

Donuts

  • 1/2 cup dairy free milk
  • 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup gluten free flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp apple sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp dairy free milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1-2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions
 

Donuts

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease your donut pan.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the dairy free milk & apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to form buttermilk.
  • Add all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and mix to combine.
  • Once buttermilk is ready, mix all the wet ingredients in with the buttermilk, then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir together well.
  • Add the batter to your pan, it is pretty thick, so I found piping it in worked best.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.

Glaze

  • While the donuts cook, make your glaze.
  • Whisk melted vegan butter, dairy free milk, and salt together.
  • Add in powdered sugar a little at a time while whisking until a smooth glaze forms. Depending on how thick you want it will determine how much sugar you add.
  • You can also add a few drops of food coloring if you want some color. Mine are pink because I made these for valentines day.
  • Let your donuts cool completely before dipping in the glaze and adding sprinkles on top.
