30-Minute Vegan Donuts
These 30-Minute Vegan Donuts are prepared with a batter of flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, applesauce, coconut milk, vinegar, and vegetable oil. The donuts can be baked or cooked in a mini-donut maker, yielding tender, lightly sweet treats. Finished donuts are dipped in melted vegan white chocolate tinted with black gel food coloring and decorated with orange icing, creating visually appealing vegan-friendly donuts.
