I’ve always wanted to make donuts. These are the first, and they are baked, so they’re more cake-like than donut. Still yummy, though. And what kid doesn’t love something shaped like a donut?
Note: You’ll need a couple mini donut pans, which are not easy to find. I ordered mine on-line.
Mini Baked Donuts
*Makes 20*
(Taken from Vegan Yum Yum, by Lauren Ulm)
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon (scant) nutmeg
1 tiny pinch (or shake) cinnamon
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
egg substitute for 1 egg
4 tablespoons margarine
Directions
1. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon with a whisk to mix thoroughly.
2. Combine milk, vinegar, extract, egg substitute, and margarine in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and mix till margarine is melted. Should not get too hot.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. Should form very soft dough or thick batter.
4. Scoop out dough into ungreased, non-stick mini donut pan. Smooth out top of donuts with your fingers, clearing the post in the middle of each one. Do not overfill, or donuts will have muffin tops. (Mine had slight muffin tops but I flipped them over and dipped the other side.)
5. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees until donuts are almost browned on top and toothpick comes out clean. Turn onto cooling racks.
6. Once completely cooled, dip tops into melted chocolate.
