Why Baked Donuts ? but why not??

Doughnut. Donut. Dont care what it is spelt as …. they were baked, they were chocolatey and we loved it 🙂 …and did I do a happy dance or what!! Donuts sits right there on top on my list of indulgences… the warmth of the cinnamon sugar with the gooey goodness of the sugar glaze (I am not a so chocolate person), and it makes me go weak at the knees..

So, I seized this opportunity to just not make them at home, but bake them (no deep fried ones for us!!)

5 reasons to make this Baked Choco donut at home!

It’s chocolatey
No deep frying and no yeast
Kid friendly & allergen friendly
customised topping
Party- ready !

…. and a chocolate one at that .. ! deliciously super (I am running out of adjectives :D) This couldnt get any better.. the kids were starry eyed at seeing these being made at home (the elder one shares my love for these). And they hugged me so much .. such a lovely feeling.. warmer than the cinnamon sprinkled topped ones , dont you say ? :)).. and that for me was the best #Valentines ever 🙂

I made a small batch (about 10 donuts). And they came out super good !!

Why not try more chocolatey treats this Valentine ? (or whenever choco-craving strikes you!)

Tips and tricks to make these Baked Mini Choco Vegan Donuts:

Oven Baking times may vary. See what works for you, till a skewer / toothpick comes out clean
Bring all ingredients to room temperature before using
As this is an eggless (and vegan) recipe, the texture might be different if using whole wheat or All purpose flour in place of pastry flour.
If you are omitting any / adding any ingredient from the above list, the baking time and output may vary.
If the bread is browning too fast, tent the baking pan with aluminium foil quickly
I used a Donut dimpled plan. If you use any other pan, the bake time would vary slightly. Keep an eye on the rising bake.
