These vegan Baked Doughnuts are so irresistible. By the way, please excuse the heavy backlog of recipes I have yet to post…I really should start writing everything up whilst/before I cook to make life easier. I would also like to be frank and confess that these last few days, I really haven’t been arsed with anything other than Peaky Blinders and until I’ve binge watched all five series’ I can only apologise that my concentration will be heavily focussed on the thug life of Thomas Shelby rather than my blog- I’m sure that’s quite understandable!
Anyway, I will leave you with the recipe for these donuts, of which should you consume enough, could be adequate to achieve one of your five portions of fruit allocated to each day (though a workout will be required either post or pre consumption to be rid of the excess calories).
Luckily for those health-conscious peeps out there, these little cuties are baked rather than fried so not all bad
