Ingredients
UnitsScale
Self rising flour 70 gms
Thick Vegan yogurt1/4cup
Baking powder 1 tsp
Margarine or melted vegan butter 1 tbsp
Ingredients for the glaze
Powdered sugar1cup
Water 1 tbsp
Sprinkles
Ingredients for a chocolate glaze
Vegan chocolate chips1cup
Instructions
First, add the flour, yogurt, baking powder, and melted butter to a large bowl. Next, combine the ingredients to make a thick, sticky dough.
Lightly flour the counter top and transfer the dough on it and then knead it gently until smooth. You do not want to overwork the dough or else the donut will turn out hard and dense.
Next, divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll out each portion into a long line and then connect both sides to form a donut (round) shape. Alternatively, you could roll the dough into a ¼ inch thick sheet and then use a large round cookie cutter to cut the round shape and use a bottle cap to cut the inside of the circle to give it a donut shape.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and then place the 4 donuts in the basket.
Air fry at 400 F for 5 to 8 minutes and then allow the donuts to completely cool before glazing the donuts.
As they cook, you can prepare the glaze by adding the powdered sugar and water to a bowl and then mixing it well until you get a thick smooth glaze.
For the vegan chocolate glaze, you will want to melt the chocolate chips in a microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals, and then dip the donuts in the chocolate glaze.
Finally, dip each donut in the glaze and place them on a wire rack and top it with sprinkles.
Notes
Do not overwork the dough when kneading or the donuts will become dense and hard.
Use parchment paper to help the donuts not stick and to reduce mess.
When placing donuts in the air fryer basket, do not allow them to touch or get too close.
