Vegan Lamington Donut Holes
Description
Vegan Lamington Donut Holes begin with a batter blending non-dairy milk, non-dairy yogurt or applesauce, sugar, oil, and vanilla with flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The batter is slightly thicker than pancake batter to hold shape in donut or mini muffin pans. Raspberry preserves are warmed and added inside each portion of batter before baking at 375°F until cooked through. Once cooled, the donut holes are dipped in a chocolate coating of vegan chocolate chips, oat milk, and coconut oil, then rolled in shredded coconut to replicate lamington flavors. The result is a soft, fruity center surrounded by chocolate and coconut layers. These can be kept refrigerated for several days, offering a moist and vegan sweet snack or dessert option.

- Prep your chocolate coating by melting the chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler, and add in the non dairy milk, coconut oil, whisk well until really smooth.
- Put the coconut into another shallow bowl.
