Vegan Donuts!

It was a cloudy overcast day this past Sunday so I thought...hey...I'm going to make DONUTS! I headed over to Michael's craft store (with my 40% off coupon). I purchased a non-stick donut pan and some rainbow sprinkles for just $8! Score!

This recipe is a lot healthier than fried donuts, because you will use a lot less oil. In this recipe you will bake the donuts instead. The consistency is more cake-like, but they are still just as satisfying!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons of nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping
1/4 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (melt in microwave, stir every 30 seconds, until smooth)

Glaze Topping
1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons soy milk, one drop of food coloring (I used turquoise and a magenta)

Toppings: sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or anything else you want!

Method

1. Set oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients separately.
3. Mix wet ingredients separately.
4. Then, mix dry and wet ingredients together. Do not over mix it.
5. Take a gallon sized plastic bag, roll bag inside out, choose a corner, and put the dough inside the bag towards the corner. Cut the tip of the bag, and twist the plastic bag at the top just where the dough stops. Cut the tip. (You can also use a pastry bag if you have one)
6. Pipe the dough out into the donut pan per each donut.
7. Put donuts in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Watch them carefully. You want to cook them just until they are slightly golden.
8. Take out donuts and let them completely cool.
9. Dip the top of the donut into the glaze and turn it around with your hand to wipe of the excess. Immediately top with your favorite toppings!
10. Eat right away or store in a airtight container for later!
