How to Prepare Rainbow Doughnuts [Vegan]

Mix ingredients for the doughnuts together
Pour batter into six different bowls. Add a tiny amount of dye to each bowl.
Bake on greased doughnut. Layer different colors of batter on the doughnut tray and swirl the colors around.
Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes
Once cool mix powdered sugar with almond milk. Add more sugar if too thin, add more almond milk if icing is not thin enough.
Dip doughnuts then add sprinkles.

Notes

If you thin out icing with a few extra drops of almond milk you’ll be able to see the doughnut colors through it. Swirl the batter as you place it in the trays if you want more of a blended look. The two doughnuts at the bottom of the picture are upside down and show off the swirl. The top side was a mix of swirl and color block design because the bottom part of the tray was not mixed.
