Directions for: Vegan Baked Chocolate Almond Doughnuts

Ingredients

Doughnuts

1 cup pure cane sugar

1 cup pure pumpkin puree or sweet potato puree

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

5 Tbsp virgin coconut oil, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp pure almond extract

3 cup all-purpose flour

cup Dutch process cocoa powder

4 tsp baking powder

tsp salt

Glaze

2 cup vegan chocolate chips

cup virgin coconut oil

sliced almonds, lightly toasted, for decor

Directions

Doughnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, pumpkin or sweet potato puree, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla and almond extracts together. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and then stir this into the wet mixture until evenly blended. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.

3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out to -inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts with a 3-inch cutter and cut holes in the centre of each doughnut (the holes can be re-rolled with remaining dough or baked as doughnut holes.) Place the doughnuts onto the prepared baking tray and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until they just begin to colour on the bottom. Cool the doughnuts completely before glazing.

Glaze

1. For the glaze, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a metal bowl placed over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring until melted. Cool the chocolate down until it has thickened to a glaze consistency and then dip the doughnuts in and return to the tray. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and let the chocolate set for 30 minutes before serving.

2. Doughnuts are best enjoyed the day they are made.
