Ingredients
Donuts
- 1¼ cup tapioca flour
- 3 tbsp gluten free flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup coconut yogurt
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ tbsp oil
Icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- vegan food coloring, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 338-340 degrees F / 170 C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- Whisk both of the flours, baking powder and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the yogurt, ¼ cup almond milk, vanilla and oil.
- Stir the wet ingredients through the dry ingredients until well combined. Depending on the moisture content of the yogurt you may need to add additional almond milk. Start with 1 tbsp at a time until the dough is workable but not too sticky. You should be able to roll the dough into a ball and keep it’s shape.
- Scoop out about ½ tsp of the donut dough and roll into a small ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place 6 of the balls into a circle shape. Repeat and form a total of 8 circles/donuts.
- Place the baking tray with the donuts into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to completely cool on a cooling rack before icing.
- To prepare the icing: Mix the powdered sugar and with 2 tbsp almond milk until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding additional almond milk if needed. Color with food coloring if desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
- The donut “balls” will rise when cooking so be sure not to make them too big.
- Coconut sugar can be used instead of white sugar.
- The icing recipe makes more icing than you will likely need. Nutrition information is calculated based on using half the amount of icing the recipe makes.
- Any plant based milk will work in this recipe.
- Any light flavored oil can be used.
