Notes
Plant Based Milk: I used Oat milk in this recipe but you can choose the plant based milk of your choice. Rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, flax milk, cashew milk etc. Sweet Potato: The sweet potato used in the recipe calles for the one with purple skin and white inside. (Sometimes called Japanese sweet potato) Yam (with orange inside) will be a little bit too watery and soft. If you can't find the sweet potato with purple skin and white interior, you can use yam in the recipe but will need to add a little bit more rice flour to adjust to watery consistency of the yam. Make sure in step #3 you can make a solid ball and the dough is not too moist. If you are looking for vegan yeast donut recipe check out our vegan apple donut recipe.
