Ingredients
  

For the Donuts
  • 1 cup Milk of Choice Almond or oat milk works beautifully for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 tablespoon White or Cider Vinegar Fresh is best for fluffiest results.
  • 3 tablespoons Oil (or Banana, Applesauce, or Almond Butter) Substitute with applesauce for a lighter touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Choose high-quality extracts for delightful depth.
  • 1.5 cups Spelt, White, or Oat Flour Gluten-free flour can be used.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for the best results.
  • 0.5 cup Sugar (or Xylitol for Sugar-Free) Xylitol is a great low-calorie swap.
  • 1 pinch Salt Omit if using salted alternatives.
For Dusting
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (or Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar) Opt for sugar-free versions for lower calorie counts.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Snowball Donuts
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, vinegar, oil, and vanilla extract until slightly frothy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar (or xylitol), and salt.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
  5. Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity halfway.
  6. Bake for approximately 8 minutes until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar once completely cool and enjoy!
