Vegan Doughnuts (or Donuts)…

…depending on where you were raised I suppose As a vegan I became a bigger donut lover than when I was a non-vegan – and it was the same with various pastries like croissants and other things like ice cream. Jo and I have come to the conclusion that it’s because, when we were pregan we could have those items anytime we wanted, and when the craving hit twice a year or so, the items were accessible. But when there’s not a mass market for vegan croissants (which I am working on creating, the croissant…not the market), and it’s been 4 or 5 years since you’ve had one..the craving can become overly intense and nothing else can satisfy, so you go nuts trying to make it yourself or buy an entire case of Nutrilicious donuts and eat them within a week’s time! But I feel I won’t have to purchase a case again because Nikki over at Vegan Verve has created such a deliciously evil baked vegan doughnut recipe!! I made them last night and baked them this morning, boy oh boy!! I can’t stop eating them!! So good with a light glazing (or heavy..no one’s here to judge) and a cup of tea! I highly recommend these to anyone who loves donuts, or doughnuts, or baking in general! The only differences between how I made them and her recipe is that I used vanilla Hemp milk instead of vanilla Soymilk, and I used a combo of bread flour and oat flour (for which she didn’t specify a flour, but I’m assuming she used all-purpose). The dough is super simple to make…what takes the longest is the waiting…And like Tom Petty says, “The waiting is the hardest part.” I have a feeling there will be some chocolate glazing tonight! So here’s a picturama of my glazed doughnut making experience

Mmm…yummy dough rising! Oh wait, and what’s this? Mmm…glaze…

Happy Baking!!
