Some of my family called in last Saturday, when I had ‘coincidentally’ just finished recipe testing these vegan spelt baked donuts with raw chocolate glaze (they all know Saturday’s a shoot day). ☺ Now my dad is not usually one for liking ‘healthy’ desserts, but after trying these vegan donuts straight from the oven, he couldn’t stop at one. Good news for me! Did I also mention they’re refined sugar free?!
These doughnuts are a little more cake like in texture than usual, which helps them keep longer as they don’t go dry and ‘bready’. This also means there’s no need to eat them all on the one day, but hey, no judgement here. ☺
Today I’ve used raw vegan chocolate for coating the doughnuts, but you could use any dark chocolate you like. For the toppings I’ve used some of my favourite ingredients, but again feel free to use anything you like. Some freeze-dried berries or dried fruit could also be a delicious addition.
I do realise that I say this so often in my recipes, but these really are SO easy to make, and a great recipe to get the kids involved in too!
Let me know how you go with the recipe! Also, remember to tag me if you make them, I’d love to see @gatherandfeast
