When I went vegan, I never imagined ever eating a donut again. But vegans can make donuts too! And these donuts can be just as delicious as typical donuts! The best proof of vegan donut awesomeness is Voodoo Doughnut in Portland. They bake so many varieties of vegan donuts daily, 24 hours a day. It's incredible. The absolute best one I tried there (I think I ate 6 total in my few days in Portland) was a donut topped with oreo crumbles and peanut butter.
I'll never be able to make donuts as great as those, but I did attempt some today. I found the recipe through The Urban Housewife's blog. The original recipe is from VeganYumYum, which is probably the ultimate vegan cooking blog. her photographs are stunning.
I don't have a donut pan so I had to use a muffin pan and have holeless donuts. Not having the proper baking tools also meant the texture of these isn't perfect. Not quite dense enough to be a true donut but denser than a cupcake or muffin. The taste is spot on, though, especially once I made the simple glaze to dip them in.
I'll definitely be attempting to make more donuts soon. The only way to perfect the texture is to keep making...and eating more of them.
(Note: the picture is of the donuts still on my version of a wire rack (there is none in this kitchen!) and there is extra glaze pooling around each donut.)
