Okay guys, let's get started! In a large bowl you want to add your plain flour and you want to use a large bowl as As this recipe makes a lot of donuts you can also halve this too. Then add sugar, then also add baking soda and we're gonna add some cinnamon and nutmeg. I really feel that these spices bring out the best in these vegan donuts and I absolutely love them so you're gonna have to just trust me on this one. Once you've added all your dry ingredients you wanna just mix it all together with a spoon just to make sure it's nice and even. In a pot, I'm going to add my wet ingredients, so I'm adding almond milk, you can use any other vegan milk that you like, I'm adding canola oil and I'm adding apple cider vinegar. Lastly, I'm adding my vanilla extract and we're just going to mix everything together until it's nice and smooth. You always want to do your wet and dry ingredients separately, that way it's just going to incorporate much better. You want to add half of your wet mixture into your dry mixture and then mix everything with a spoon. Then add the rest of your wet ingredients and then mix one more time until the dough starts to come together and you will see it will be nice and smooth. It's really important that you put the dough into a piping bag because it will be very tricky to put this dough into a doughnut mould using a spoon, it will be really messy so do get a piping bag and place your mixture in there. It's better if you leave your dough to rest for about 30 minutes but if you're not patient enough, you can pretty much cook straight away. Once your mixture is inside, I'm going to have to do two piping bags as it's a lot of mixture and a lot of donuts. I'm using this silicone mold donut shape. You can use any molds that you have. They're super cheap on Amazon that you can get. I've provided all the links on my Amazon stores, by the way, guys. So everything I use in all my videos, you can find in there for UK and US versions. So you want to go around with your finger and just make sure your mold is oiled this is really essential and then pipe up your donut mixture and I'm using just a cooking spray by the way and then we're going to bake these and once they're done they look just like that you can see that my oven doesn't cook evenly there are some that were slightly over baked from one side but it doesn't really matter you don't want to over bake them so they do need to be quite pale when you take them out as you will see now they're quite browned on top and this is perfect. We don't want to cook them anymore as you still want to have that kind of doughnut-y flavor, nice and crunchy and soft at the same time. We're going to leave them to cool down completely and now it's time to make our icing. So I like to make a big bowl straight away and then divide it into two. Here I have icing sugar and I'm mixing it together with some almond milk and just mixing it to the desired consistency. I will leave the measurements that I've used but this one is completely optional some people like thicker icing some people like less thick icing and for my first flavor it's mixed berries so I'm adding mixed berry puree or you can also use jam if you don't have a puree and you can adjust the consistency to how you like it so if it's too thick you add a bit more milk if it's too thin you add a bit more icing sugar. Then take your cooled donut with a pretty side and then dip into your icing a couple of times until it's covered and then place it onto your cooling rack. This way any excess icing will drip down and will not make a mess in your kitchen. They set pretty quickly and you then want to decorate them with whatever flavors you want on top. I'm adding some dried freeze raspberries and strawberries. This is a mixed berry doughnut and they just look so pretty guys, they're so delicious. I made them for the event and nobody knew that they were vegan as well by the way. And I've added some flowers, edible flowers and some white icing just to make it pretty. Now we're going to make our chocolate Oreo version so add cocoa powder into the rest of your icing and again adjust it depending on how thin or thick you like it and pretty much repeat the process we're going to dip the donuts and then place them on the cooling rack and then decorate with whatever topping you want you can add more chocolate i've decided to add crunchy oreo cookies and there you go this is how it looks so delicious and chocolatey our third flavor is my favorite it's cookie butter so i'm using cookie butter inside my icing mixing it together and as you can see I adjust it as I go and I absolutely love cookie butter and I only just recently discovered that they were vegan yes I know so you want to decorate with some cookies and maybe some more crushed cookies just to make them look super pretty I actually want to know which ones are you gonna be your favorite guys so do let me know in comments down below next one is again my favorite it's crunchy peanut butter I do think crunchy peanut butter works better as it really adds that flavor to the texture. The donuts are already soft so if you're using soft peanut butter it just doesn't have that much um not flavor but I would say it doesn't have that crunch you know and you do want to have those nuts and or you can obviously add more crushed nuts on top it's up to you. And then these are peanut butter chocolates so I'm just going to add a little bit of chocolate glaze on here and then decorate it with some vegan pretzels and there you are guys look at this beautiful mix of donut box they went to a health event and everyone loved them
