Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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.

Categories Breakfast

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

¼ cup vegan margarine
½ cup soy milk
2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus 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 center and pour in the butter mixture. 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 center of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
Heat up 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.
Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
Enjoy!

Tips for Making Perfect Vegan Mini Doughnuts:

Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the doughnuts, reducing the need for added sugar and fat.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense doughnuts. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a piping bag or ziplock bag: This will help you easily and evenly distribute the batter into the doughnut pan.
Don't overcrowd the doughnut pan: Leave enough space between the doughnuts so they have room to expand while baking.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the doughnuts are cooked through without being overdone.
Let the doughnuts cool completely before glazing: This will prevent the glaze from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

These vegan mini doughnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and decadent glaze, they are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're craving a sweet snack, give these vegan mini doughnuts a try!
