Ingredients
- [u]Donuts[/u]
- 1 cup organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup un-refined evaporated cane sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup original almond milk, plus ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup neutral tasting oil (safflower)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons, plus 1 tablespoon Setton Farms Pistachio Kernels, chopped*
- 1 tablespoon, plus 1 tablespoon, dried cranberries, roughly chopped*[br][br]
- [u]Icing[/u]
- 2 teaspoons non-hydrogenated buttery spread
- 1 ½ cups organic powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon soymilk creamer or almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dash of sea salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, sugar and sea salt and whisk until uniform.
- In a small bowl, add almond milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside to curdle, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add almond milk mixture, oil and vanilla extract to dry ingredients. Whisk until uniform. Fold 3 tablespoons pistachios and 1 tablespoon cranberries (or 3 Setton Farms Pistachio Chewy Bites) into batter.
- Grease donut pan generously with cooking spray and pour batter into each donut shape. Leave about ¼ inch for batter to rise and clean any excess batter from center of each donut to prevent sticking.
- Bake for about 21-24 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before glazing. Place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet with walls, to collect icing.
- To make the icing, melt buttery spread in a small pot and add in powdered sugar. Whisk until lumpy.
- Add soymilk creamer or almond milk, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until smooth, about 1 minute and remove from heat.
- To glaze donuts, drizzle a small amount of glaze over each donut, making sure there is a baking sheet to catch the run-off.
- Sprinkle right away with remaining pistachios and cranberries, or Setton Farms Pistachio Chewy Bites before glaze hardens. Set aside to cool.
