- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and toss to blend.1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir. Be careful not to over mix or the donuts will be more dense. The batter will be slightly thick and airy.
- Pour the batter into a large piping bag or a basic plastic zip closure bag, cut the tip off the end and fill each hole about ¾ full. You can also carefully spoon the batter into each hole.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes then remove from the pan and place on a wire cooling rack. Add the powdered sugar while they are still
- Coat in powdered sugar. While the donuts are still a little warm, add the powdered sugar to a small bowl or shallow plate. Place each donut in the sugar and coat both sides well. Or place the powdered sugar in another plastic baggie and add the donuts one at a time to and shake to coat well. Tip: slightly dampen the donuts by brushing with a little water, oil or melted butter if the sugar is not sticking.1 cup powdered sugar
Notes
Substitute canola oil, unsweetened applesauce or softened butter in place of the yogurt.
Use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar.
Use any milk you'd like. Use a non-dairy milk like soy milk, almond milk etc.
Swap them maple syrup for brown sugar or honey.
Use Gluten free one-to-one flour or oat flour for a gluten free version.
