Ube Crinkle Donuts Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ube halaya
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Special Equipment Needed:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Add the ube halaya to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
