Peace!
Fall is in full effect! I am really not feeling it now that I have moved to an even hotter region of the United States, Florida. Gosh darn it, it’s hot! The weather makes it hard to get in a proper Fall mood, but I figured I would try with these Vegan Pumpkin donuts. I love this recipe, but be sure to properly grease your donut pan.
If you wonder where to get a donut pan? Try this one below, or go over to Michaels. They usually have them readily available.
How To Make Pumpkin Spice?
The recipe calls for pumpkin spice. I have never seen this in the store, but it’s rather easy to make it at home. Mix together these ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
After you get that, you are in business to make your own vegan pumpkin donuts. I had to make these twice, because I used all of those spices. I didn’t bother to read closely.
Good to know the next time I made them to ease up on the pumpkin spice. Ginger powder is disgusting.
I cooked my donuts for about 10 minutes, but I wanted them immediately and realize I had not greased my donut pan properly. They aren’t so pretty but they were good, and really it cut down on using any sort of processed sugar.
These were a perfect for a decadent breakfast on a lazy Sunday. I love these. I got some coffee and enjoyed them.
