Vegan Donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of almond milk
- 3 tablespoons of nut butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 medium banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of plant based milk (plus more as needed)
Preparation
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 6 cavity donut pan (these can also be made as muffins if desired but might need 5 extra minutes in the oven!)
In a large bowl, mash your banana until few lumps remain. Stir in the milk, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined
Over top of the wet ingredients, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder and cinnamon and mix everything together to combine
Evenly spoon or pipe the mixture into the 6 muffin cups
Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool slightly and then remove from the pan to a wire rack to cool more
Make the frosting by melting the chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl until just melted. Whisk in the powdered sugar and milk. Add a teaspoon more milk as needed to thicken the frosting to your desired thickness
Dip each cooled donut into the frosting and add sprinkles as desired. ENJOY
