# Instructions:
01 -
Before starting, put all ingredients out and let them come to room temperature. Combine flour, sugar, and active dry yeast in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
02 -
With the mixer on low, add oat milk, softened butter, vanilla extract, and black cherry flavor to the dry ingredients. Mix for 2 minutes on low, then knead for 8 minutes on medium-high speed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
03 -
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, and cover. Let it rise for 1-2 hours in a warm, non-drafty place. After rising, divide dough into 4-6 equal pieces, shape into balls, and slightly flatten them. Place on a floured sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
04 -
Heat oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Gently transfer risen dough balls to the hot oil. Fry donuts until golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
05 -
Prepare whipped cream following package instructions. Season with lemon juice and black cherry flavor to taste. Option 1: Cut donuts in half, spread with cherry jam, pipe whipped cream, drizzle with more jam, and garnish with cherries. Option 2: Fill donuts with jam using a piping bag, top with whipped cream, cherry jam, and cherries.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the oil temperature is maintained between 340-355°F for optimal frying results.

Donuts are best enjoyed fresh on the same day they are prepared.
