Vegan Donuts X2

I made vegan donuts about a week ago and was not too impressed. This time though I had the proper donut pan and actually glazed them and wow! While they might not be straight from dunkin donuts, I am pretty happy with how they came out. Maybe next week I will try to make chocolate ones. 
This recipe comes from Vegan Yum Yum


Vegan Donuts:
You need:
1 Cup Flour
½ Cup Sugar
1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Nutmeg (a shake or two)
A shake of cinnamon
½ cup soymilk or rice milk
½ tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
½ tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Egg (egg replacer, I use ener-g)
4 Tbs Earth Balance

To Make:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3.Combine soymilk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, egg replacer and earth balance in a small pot on low heat on the stove.
4.Mix until earth balance is melted, the mixture should be warm, not hot. You should be able to dip your finger in it.
5.Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. I folded it in, the dough does not require a ton of mixing. Vegan Yum Yum has a youtube video of what your dough should look like.
6.Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out dough into each of the mini donuts in the pan. The dough should sit just below the rim, or else they will come out like mine, a little bit of a muffin top.
7.Bake for about 12 minutes, it shouldn’t get brown. You should be able to remove a tester clean.
8. Glaze, cover with sprinkles, dip in chocolate, powder sugar, or cinnamon.
 Glaze:
½ Cup Powder Sugar
1 Tablespoon soymilk or rice milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Whisk together ingredients and dip donuts in it. Then top with sprinkles if you so choose. Plop the donuts on some parchment paper so any excess glaze (or chocolate) drips off but your donut won’t stick to anything.


You can also melt your favorite chocolate and dip the donuts into that for hostess like chocolate covered donuts.

Notes: The recipe on Vegan Yum Yum says to use soymilk. I did not have any, so I decided to try rice milk. The donuts are a little softer and fluffier. Either one works well, you can play with it and see what your preference is.
