Maple Donuts With Coconut Bacon Sprinkles Recipes

VEGAN MAPLE GLAZED DOUGHNUTS WITH COCONUT BACON

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350˚F (176˚C) and lightly grease the doughnut pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt until completely combined.
• Melt the vegan butter.
• In a medium sized bowl, whisk the plant-based milk (anything except coconut milk will do) and lemon juice together. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Pour the melted butter into the milk and add the brown sugar, vanilla, maple syrup, and vegan egg and whisk until the sugar melts.
• Pour the butter and sugar mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• The batter will be thick.
• Fill a pastry bag with the batter or spoon it into the greased doughnut pan, filling three-quarters of the way full, making sure that the batter is evenly distributed around the ring.
• Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the pan.
• Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes then remove them from the pan and let them cool completely on a rack.
• FOR THE GLAZE
• In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add 1 tsp of water at a time and whisk until it turns into a sticky and smooth glaze.
• Dip the tops of the completely cool doughnuts into the glaze, sprinkle with the coconut bacon chips, and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet to set.

MINI MAPLE-GLAZED DOUGHNUTS WITH COCONUT "BACON"

Steps:

• For the coconut "bacon": Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the coconut chips, soy sauce, liquid smoke and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the coconut is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. The "bacon" will crisp up as it cools.
• For the doughnuts: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond milk and coconut oil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Pour the peanut or canola oil halfway up the sides of a cast-iron skillet and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the hot milk mixture in the well. Mix until a thick dough forms. Roll portions of dough into 12 balls and use your thumb to make holes in the centers.
• Fry the doughnuts, in batches, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Let drain on paper towels.
• Meanwhile, make the maple glaze: Stir together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, maple extract and salt in a small bowl. Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and sprinkle with the coconut "bacon" before serving.
