hiya every body! It’s been some time! Yup, my first recipe of 2018 is coming right at the end.. For the ones of you that didn’t realize, I took a destroy from SLC for a whole 12 months! more approximately that may be located right here. i am satisfied to be returned and that i’m geared up to move full pressure into Christmas baking!
given that I departed with a donut recipe this time last yr, we are going to start matters lower back up with donuts, purpose nicely, i love donuts. This recipe is extraordinary simple (purpose Lord knows all people needs a touch greater simple of their lives this time of 12 months) and is a delicious smash from (or addition to) the standard Christmas cookies and cakes and other vacation treats tempting you at each move.
Ingredients
Donuts:
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1.5 tbs coconut oil, melted
- 1 flax egg (1 tbs ground flax + 3 tbs warm water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Candy Cane Glaze:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1-1.5 tbs non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- Approximately 100g crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tbs ground flax with 3 tbs warm water. Set aside to thicken
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, melted coconut oil, flax egg, and vanilla extract
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until combined
- Pour batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag with a corner cut off, and pipe into a greased donut pan
- Don’t over fill the wells, pipe around once in a circular motion into each well
- Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the donuts comes out clean and the donuts spring back when touched - 15 minutes was perfect for me
- Allow donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and continue to cool on a cooling rack
- Combine all ingredients for the glaze in a bowl and stir until fully combined. You may need to add a bit more milk if too thick, or some more icing sugar if too thin
- Dip cooled donuts into the glaze
- Press the freshly glazed donuts into the crushed candy canes
- Allow glaze to set before stacking donuts on top of each other or transporting
- Enjoy!
