How many times do you walk into a meeting and donuts are sitting in front of you screaming your name? Too many times for me. I learned my lesson after the 10th time of failing the temptation , so I started making my own to bring. The usual recipe I make usually has egg whites and yogurt but since this is my vegan month I had to make some changes. I promise it taste just as great and actually I prefer this one!
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Vegan Chocolate Chips
- 3 Tbsp Vegan Chocolate Chips For Top
- 1/2 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Whole Grain Oats
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 Packet Truvia
- 1 Small Banana
- 3 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/4 Cup Ground Flax
- 1 Tbsp Almond Flour
- Sprinkles
Add all ingredients (besides 3 Tbsp of Chips) to a bowl and mix well. The textures should be very similar to cooked oatmeal.
I don’t have a donut pan so I use my whoopie pie pan. Make sure to grease with olive oil spray first then place 1/4 cups of the mixture into each slot. Flatten to fit. If you don’t have a donut pan or whoopie pie pan you can use a regular baking sheet.
After baking for 10 minutes at 350 degrees take them out of the oven, flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes.
To make them into donuts I used a bottle cap to pierce the wholes. Making the holes is optional. They work as donut cookies too!
Microwave chocolate chips until melted and quickly spread 1 Tsp on each donut. Top with sprinkles and let the chocolate harden before stacking
The perfect thing about making your own donuts is you can choose the color of your toppings and decorate them for special occasions. I am thinking about making these for Halloween with ghosts sprinkles! I’d make them for Christmas but my family has the monkey bread tradition. I couldn’t imagine waking up on Christmas morning with out the smell of cinnamon in the air. 
You could also add raisins, nuts or other healthy additives to change it up.
The recipe will make exactly 6 donuts.
Stacking them, putting them in a clear bag and tying with a ribbon would make the perfect office or classroom gift. This is also perfect for early morning tailgating. If you frost with with your football team colors and offer them at tailgate people will be very impressed! Maybe I’ll do that for this Saturday’s Iowa Hawkeye game! Black and Gold baby!
