Ingredients
- 1 Cup Warm Non-dairy milk, I used oat milk(about 110 degrees F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1/4 Cup Organic cane sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 1/2 Cups All purpose flour
Glaze
- 1 1/2 Cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2-3 Tablespoons Non-dairy milk to thin out
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1/3 Cup Organic cane sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Sprinkle the yeast and then the sugar into the milk. Gently stir.
- Let the yeast bloom for about 5 minutes. It should get very bubbly and frothy looking.
- Then pour in the salt and coconut oil. Put the dough hook attachment onto the stand mixer and begin mixing.
- Add the cornstarch and then begin adding the flour about 1/2 cup at a time, letting the dough hook mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
- Then let the dough hook knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
- Remove the dough ball from the bowl and then spray the bowl with non-stick spray. Put the dough back in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and then let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down and then turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out until it is about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Cut the dough into circles with a biscuit cutter or cup. Then cut small circles out of the center to form the donuts. Save the donut holes, you can air fry them too.
- You should get 12 to 14 donuts and donut holes. Leave them on the counter where you rolled them out. Cover them all with a kitchen towel. Let them rise for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Spray the basket of an air fryer with non-stick spray. Then place a few donuts and donut holes into the air fryer at a time. Spray the tops of the donuts with more non-stick spray.
- Air fry the donuts at 390 degrees(F), for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Repeat with all the donuts.
- Make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Dip the donuts into the glaze and leave as is, or...
- Stir together the cinnamon and sugar and glaze the donuts and then coat in the cinnamon a sugar. Then eat!
