Instructions
Prepare the basket or wire racks of an air fryer by spraying them with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add the almond milk to a liquid measuring cup and heat it to 100°F. Add the yeast and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Set the mixture aside for 5 minutes.
While waiting for the yeast to activate, add the gluten-free flour mix, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
Add the melted coconut oil and the egg to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture resembles crumbs.
Once the yeast is activated, add the yeast mixture to the ingredients in the large bowl and stir with a sturdy spoon until well-combined. The mixture should be sticky.
Place the dough on a piece of floured wax paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 7- to 8-inch disk. It should be about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. You should only need to roll the dough a few times with the rolling pin to achieve this thickness.
Next, use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible. Move rounds aside, roll the remaining dough out again, and cut out the remaining rounds. Repeat until you can’t get any more 2-inch rounds from the dough that has been rolled out to a thickness of 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch.
Poke a hole in the middle of each round with one finger.
Place the donuts on the greased wire rack or in the air fryer basket. Make sure they aren't touching one another. Let them rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F while the donuts rise.
Once the donuts have finished rising, cook them for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove them from the air fryer and place them on a cooling rack. Let them cool completely.
Once they have completely cooled, glaze with your favorite donut glaze.
