Instructions

• 1 Warm the 1 1/8 cups of oat milk to about 90-105 degrees F and place it into a
  large mixing bowl.
• 2 Add 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit
  until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• 3 Add in the vanilla extract, eggs, safflower oil, sugar, and flour. Combine using
  a wooden spoon, Danish whisk, or dough whisk in a mixer until mixed. Then add
  the flour and combine until dough forms and pulls away easily from the bowl. Add
  more flour if needed, a tablespoon at a time.
• 4 Transfer the dough to a bowl that’s greased with a little bit of oil. Cover with
  a clean kitchen cloth and allow the dough to rise for at least an hour so it can
  double in size.
• 5 Place the dough onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough
  until it's around 1/4-inch in thickness. Use a floured-dusted donut cutter or
  biscuit cutter to make your donuts.
• 6 Place the shaped donuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rise
  covered with a clean kitchen towel for about an hour. They should puff up
  nicely.
• 7 Around 45 minutes into the rising time, add the oil to a pot and bring the oil
  to 360-375 degrees F.
• 8 Using a mesh skimmer, carefully drop the doughnuts into the hot oil. Fry the
  donuts for 2 minutes per side. Place the cooked donuts onto a cooling rack with
  a paper towel on a baking sheet and then top with your desired donut glaze or
  toppings.
• 9 In a bowl, combine the glaze ingredients and mix until combined.
• 10 If it's too thick, add one teaspoon of milk or water until it reaches the
  desired consistency.
• 11 Add cocoa powder to make chocolate, and you can make half and have, if desired,
  with the same amount.
