Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding them together until just combined. Add apple cider vinegar.
  5. Fill the donut pan cavities about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, decorate your donuts with glaze, fruits, or toppings as desired.
