Recipe -Baked Vegan Donuts!

I made donuts!!

Here's the down low on how to get these tasty treats

First you need a donut seed, you can get these at any grocery store.

Plant it in a small pot full of brown sugar. Place in sun and water daily!

In about a week you'll have a sprout! Exciting right!?

Two more weeks pass and lookie what we have here, a fully grown donut!

Hehehe!!

The real recipe....

Baked vegan donuts.

(recipe via veganyumyum)

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 shake of cinnamon 

1/2 cup soymilk
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Egg replacer for 1 egg 

4 tablespoons Earth Balance or other vegan margarine

Preheat oven to 350º F.
In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients together.

In a small saucepan, combine wet ingredients over medium low heat & mix until margarine is melted. You should be able to stick your finger in the mixture without burning yourself. 

Add wet to dry and stir, forming a soft spongy dough.

Using a spoon, scoop out dough into an ungreased nonstick mini donut pan & smooth out the tops of them. Fill them just below the rim. Overfilling them will result in muffin tops.
Bake them for 10-12 minutes. Remove from pan and place on wire rack to cool.

The glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon soy milk

Whisk ingredients together.

Dip top half of the donut into the glaze, and place on wire rack to harden.

Overview:
Would I ever bake them again?

• YES! I cannot wait to try other variations (ie. chocolate covered!)

Pros?

• Quick
• Glaze was so easy to make!
• Deeeeelicious.

Cons?

• Doesn't yield many
• I found spooning the dough into the pans to be difficult and time consuming.

Modifications?

• No nutmeg added.
• Approximately 5 shakes of cinnamon as opposed to one shake.
• Added a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to glaze.

Notes:

• I highly reccomend this recipe. They're great for breakfast and for a snack!
• I made one batch with one coating of glaze and a second batch with two coats of glaze. Both were delicious but the ones with one coating were very moist and sticky on day two, but the ones with two coats of glaze weren't. 

A mini donut pan was another one of my thrifty finds from this weekend. Brand new still in the box, I couldn't resist! I'm really happy I bought it.
