Espresso Glazed Vegan Donuts (No Pan Required)

Ingredients
DONUT
- 2 cups soymilk (I used light vanilla)
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave*
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 - 4 1/2 cups flour (give or take)
ESPRESSO GLAZE
- 1 shot quality espresso or strong coffee (1 shot equals 2-3 Tbsp)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
STREUSEL TOPPING* (optional)
- 3-4 Tbsp vegan butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp flour
Instructions
- 1
Bring soy milk, oil, maple syrup or agave, and sugar to a boil in a small sauce pan.
- 2
Once boiling, remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm or 110 degrees F / 43 C (30 minutes)
30 min - 3
Once cooled, stir in yeast and let set for 5-10 minutes.
10 min - 4
In a large bowl, add flour (starting with lesser end of range) and salt, then add to wet mixture and stir, mixing well, then covering with a towel and letting rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Once doubled in size, add the remaining flour (1/2 cup as original recipe is written // or until the dough is no longer incredibly sticky). Mix well and then let the dough sit for about 10 minutes.
10 min - 6
On a floured surface make about 2-inch balls and place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet, leaving room for expansion.
- 7
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and cover with light towel while warming.

Once preheated, bake for 10-11 minutes, being careful not to over bake as you don't want the bottoms too brown.
11 min - 9
Prepare glaze and streusel while baking. Once donuts are done, let them cool slightly and then dunk in glaze and cover with streusel. I put the streusel on both top and bottom, and would recommend it for best flavor.

Serve immediately for best result, or store in air-tight container for up to 2 days.
