Thought donuts were more naughty than nice? Not anymore! Our resident Baker, Reece Hignell, owner of Cake Boi, has developed these healthy Berry Iced Vegan Donuts for a not so naughty, delicious treat. He's skipped the red food colouring and artificial flavours instead using our Essential Reds powder which also gives an added boost of antioxidants.
A fun and flexible recipe, perfect to make with the kids and easy to turn into cupcakes instead if you don't have a donut tin lying around.

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180℃ and grease a 12-hole donut tray.
Add plain flour, erythritol, baking soda, cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, almond milk, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar and the melted coconut oil. Give the mixture a good stir until well combined. Scoop the mixture into a pipping bag and pipe the mixture between the holes of the donut tin.
Place into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and when an inserted skewer comes out clean.
