Donuts, Doughnuts. Potato, pot-ah-toe. However you spell it, they\u2019re delicious. Donuts that is. Although potatoes are equally delicious. But we\u2019re talking about donuts today. Specifically these vegan baked molasses donuts. Yes, another<\/em> baked donut recipe on the blog because I can\u2019t be bothered to deep fry at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re obviously not the same as fried donuts but, dare I say, they\u2019re almost just as good? Plus it\u2019s a much simpler process. No proofing or frying. Just whip up the batter, bake, and be done in under 40 minutes! Couldn\u2019t get easier than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make vegan baked molasses donuts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These are very similar to the cardamom baked donuts<\/a>, but with molasses. I love the texture of those so I\u2019m going with the \u201cif it ain\u2019t broke don\u2019t fix it\u201d approach. The method is the same, just a matter of whisking the wet ingredients in one bowl, the dry in another, and combining them together. But avoid overmixing! Whisk just<\/em> until a smooth batter forms to prevent dense or gummy donuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan yogurt adds moisture and lift along with the baking powder, resulting in an airy and fluffy baked donut. These are also purely sweetened with molasses so the flavour of it really comes through. I even like to add a pinch of ground black pepper to bring out the spicy notes of it, but that\u2019s completely optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once they\u2019re baked, it becomes somewhat of a \u201cchoose your own adventure\u201d. You can opt to coat them in powdered sugar, powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon, granulated sugar, cinnamon sugar, coarse sugar like turbinado or you could even dip them in the maple glaze from the cardamom donuts recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All options are delectable (trust me I ate a few of each kind) but keep in mind that powdered sugar sticks really well to the entire surface of the donut whereas granulated or coarse sugar don\u2019t stick as well to the side that wasn\u2019t in the donut pan (the smooth side basically). I don\u2019t mind that so much, but if you want it completely coated, simply brush the smooth side with melted coconut oil or vegan butter before tossing it in the sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storing baked donuts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since baked donuts like these molasses ones are made with cake batter, they\u2019re always best enjoyed fresh. Or some time in the day they\u2019re made. They lose their moist and fluffy quality with time and can tend to dry out and feel dense even when stored in an airtight container. If there are some left and you need to store them, I would keep them for no more than a day in an airtight container at room temperature. Although I don\u2019t know how you would have enough self-control to have any leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
