Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
5. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
6. Place a small dollop of raspberry jam in the center of each circle.
7. Fold the dough over the jam and pinch the edges together to seal.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
9. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the doughnuts into the hot oil.
10. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
11. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
12. Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, use a piping bag to fill them with more raspberry jam.
