Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup All Purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar or Rose Sugar (optional. See post)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp aquafaba (bean water)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp dried rose petals 
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • 4 tbsp rose water. If you are not using rose water replace this with plant milk

For the glaze

  • 4 tbsps aquafaba (bean water)
  • 3 cups vegan icing 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

 

Instructions

  1.  Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease a heart shaped or regular donut pan if it is not silicon. Set aside.
  2. Melt the coconut oil using a microwave or in a small pot over low heat.  Allow to cool but not harden.
  3. Using a stand mixture or mixing bowl, cream together the cooled coconut oil and granulated/rose sugar.
  4. Add the aquafaba and whisk until combined with oil and sugar.
  5. Add plant milk, vanilla extract and rose water (if using) . Mix until evenly combined.
  6. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir gently until a smooth batter is formed.
  7. Using a small spoon, add the batter to the prepared donut pan.  Use the back of the spoon to smooth out the top.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top or insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, they are ready.
  9. Let the donuts cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. Once the donuts have cooled, make the glaze.

 To Make the Glaze:

1.    Add all the ingredients to a shallow bowl. Stir until you have a smooth glaze. If the glaze is too thick add water a tsp at a time until the desired consistency. If the glaze is too thin add more powdered sugar. Stir in any desired food coloring (if using) at this point.

2.     Dip the top of the donut in glaze. 

3.     Add garnishes while glaze is still wet.
