Air Fryer Donuts

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Add warm almond milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.

Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter (and a smaller cutter for the center) to cut out doughnuts.

Place donuts and donut holes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 20-30 minutes.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly spray or brush the donuts with oil. (I used avocado oil, but any cooking oil will work)

Depending on the size of your air fryer, cook 3–5 donuts at a time, leaving space between them, for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.

Remove and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Dip each donut into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.

Place on a rack, sprinkle with toppings if desired, and let the glaze set for about 10–15 minutes.
