Homemade Vegan Donuts

Course Dessert
Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the doughnuts:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk almond, soy, or oat
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup sugar coconut or cane
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • ½ cup Biscoff spread
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Optional: crushed Biscoff biscuits for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

  1. In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle (this creates vegan buttermilk).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Add the sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and vegan buttermilk to the dry mixture. Mix until you form a smooth dough.

Shape and Cook

  1. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ½ inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two circular cutters (one large, one small) to shape the doughnuts.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the doughnuts in small batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make the Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, gently warm the Biscoff spread until it becomes runny.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in the plant-based milk and powdered sugar until smooth.

Glaze and Garnish

  1. Dip each cooled doughnut into the Biscoff glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
  2. For added crunch and visual appeal, sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits on top.
