Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose or spelt flour (or gluten-free flour (*see notes))
½ cup sugar (variety of your choice (*see notes))
2 tsp baking powder (or 1 tsp baking soda)
½ tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
¾ cup soy milk (or other dairy-free milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp applesauce (or mashed banana)
¼ cup vegan butter (or margarine (*see notes))
1 ¼ cup powdered sugar (sifted)
3-4 tbsp beet juice (or other fruit or vegetable juice*)
sprinkles (for decorating)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F). Spray two 6-cup donut pans (or just one 6-cup donut pan and one 18-cup mini donut pans) with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Sift the flour into a large bowl. Then add sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and whisk together.
  • Now add soy milk, vanilla extract, applesauce, and melted vegan butter and stir to combine.
  • Add the donut batter into a piping bag and pipe it evenly into the prepared donut molds (optionally use a teaspoon).
  • Bake the donuts for about 20 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean (Note: The baking time may vary depending on the baking pan. Mini donuts are done sooner than larger donuts. If the minis accidentally become too dry, they can be eaten like Pancake Cereal with plant or nut milk).
  • Once done baking, remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the donuts from the molds and let cool completely on a cooling rack.

Provided by Ellie Holland

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup vegan margarine
½ cup soy milk
2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus 1 litre (4 cups) extra for frying
2 cups plain flour
½ cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together. Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork. Make a well in the centre.
  • Pour the butter mixture into the well. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
  • Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the centre of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
  • Heat up the litre of oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
  • Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil. Then roll into a bowl of the remaining sugar.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the perfect vegan doughnuts, make sure to use fresh and high-quality ingredients. This includes using unsweetened plant-based milk, such as almond or soy milk, and unbleached all-purpose flour. Fresh baking powder and baking soda will also help ensure that your doughnuts rise properly.
  • To achieve a light and fluffy texture, don't overmix the dough. Once the ingredients are just combined, stop mixing to prevent the doughnuts from becoming tough.
  • When frying the doughnuts, make sure the oil is hot enough, around 350°F. This will help the doughnuts cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Tossing the doughnuts in cinnamon sugar while they are still warm will help the coating stick and create a delicious crunch. You can also experiment with different toppings, such as powdered sugar, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also bake the doughnuts in the oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Conclusion:

These vegan doughnuts are a delicious and satisfying treat that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. With their light and fluffy texture, crispy coating, and customizable toppings, these doughnuts are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this vegan doughnut recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
