Salted Caramel Donuts
Doughnuts have recently resurfaced as one of the go-to sweet treats of late, and we're not complaining. These salted caramel doughnuts covered in, not one, but TWO types of chocolate are currently our favourite.

Pinch of Cinnamon
-
½ cup Soy Mylk

method
- Step 1 :Preheat the oven to 180 and grease a donut tray.
- Step 2 :In a mixing bowl, whist together the dry ingredients.
- Step 3 :Mix together the soy mylk, apple cider vinegar and let sit for a few minutes until it thickens.
- Step 4 :In a small saucepan, melt the soy mylk, vanilla, flaxseed and margarine over a low heat until the butter has just melted (do not let it boil/simmer).
- Step 5 :Combine both the wet and dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Step 6 :Using a teaspoon, spoon the mixture evenly into the donut holes, flattening out with your finger for best results.
- Step 7 :Bake for 12 minutes. You'll know they're done once they have firmed up and a toothpick comes out clean (they don't need to 'brown').
- Step 8 :Pop them out of the moulds and then allow to cool completely.
- Step 9 :Melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a small pot of boiling water.
- Step 10 :In a large bowl, beat the melted chocolate, powered sugar and almond mylk until you reach your desired consistency. Add more powdered sugar/liquid as needed.
- Step 11 :Dip + swirl the donuts in the chocolate and place on a drying rack.
- Step 12 :Drizzle with your favorite Loving Earth Chocolate (melt using the same method as step one) + sprinkle with edible glitter.
