Ingredients

For the Donuts:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup plant-based milk (like almond or soy)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons neat Egg (prepared with 4 tablespoons water, per package)
• Oil for frying

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Kaffree Roma
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• A pinch of salt (optional, for balance)

Directions

For the Donuts:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared neat Egg mixture.
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. The dough should be thick and a bit sticky.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough lightly and roll to about 1/2 inch thickness.
5. Use a donut cutter or round cookie cutters to cut out donuts and holes. Re-roll scraps as needed.
6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry donuts, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
7. Remove donuts to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain and cool.

For the Glaze:

1. Dissolve Kaffree Roma: In a small bowl, mix the Kaffree Roma powder with hot water until fully dissolved.
2. Mix the Glaze: In a medium bowl, sift powdered sugar, then gradually whisk in the Kaffree Roma mixture until smooth.
3. Add Flavoring: Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if desired, to enhance the flavor.
4. Adjust Consistency: Add a few drops of water for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for thickness.
5. Glaze the Donuts: Dip the tops of cooled donuts into the glaze and let excess drip off before placing them on a wire rack to set.

Enjoy these delightful, caffeine-free donuts with a rich Kaffree Roma glaze – perfect for any occasion!
