I love doughnuts so much. I could eat them every day. Now I have perfected a very simple vegan doughnut recipe I am in real trouble! These are so easy and so good. You cannot believe these are vegan. My kids think they are better than the ones from the South Melbourne markets! I will take that!
I have simply sprinkled mine with cinnamon and sugar but you could ice these with whatever flavour you desire.

The best vegan doughnut / donut
Makes 12 doughnuts
Ingredients
1/3 cup vegan butter
120ml soy milk
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 & 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup caster sugar
- sunflower oil to fry and sugar and cinnamon to coat after frying
What do I do now?
Melt the butter in a small pan, add the milk and sunflower oil. Remove from heat.
Mix the dry ingredients and make a well in the centre.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and combine. You should have a soft dough.
Flour your hands and roll about a tablespoon of dough into small balls. Either shape with your hands and poke a hole in centre or you can use a donut tin to get the perfect shape.
I don’t have a donut tin so I improvised and used an egg ring to cut out the round shape and then just cut a small hole in each one. The photo shows the results.
Shallow fry in sunflower oil, about a minute each side, drain on paper towel, cover in cinnamon and sugar and enjoy!
Anything else I should know?
These are so crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Delicious! They will puff up when frying!
I made 2 batches and saved one single donut for myself for later (they tend to vanish otherwise) and it was still so good about 8 hours after it was made. Yum!
You could ice these with vegan frosting or dip in melted chocolate sauce (combine melted coconut oil with raw cacao and a little water).
