Cinnamon Sugar Vegan Donuts

Donuts...that are delicious and vegan?! Believe it.
Pick your favorite non-dairy milk.
You don't have to use almond milk, although we tend to like its mild flavor for baked goods. But if you're more into soy or oat milk, go for it. Coconut would give these a nice subtle sweetness, too.
And your favorite vegan butter.
Donuts need a little bit of fat—but not as much as everyone might think! These are far from being fat bombs. We just use 1/4 cup of melted vegan butter for the whole batch.
Make them cinnamon sugar—or glaze 'em.
We love the classic flavor of cinnamon sugar donuts, but you can totally make a non-dairy glaze for these by whisking together 1/4 cup of your favorite non-dairy milk, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
