Mary Mattern has made a name for herself in the vegan world with her practical yet very delicious approach to recipes on her blog Nom Yourself. Who wants a recipe for doughnut holes that happens to be vegan? I know many of you do. Here she uses almond milk and a flaxseed mixture in lieu of egg. As you can see, these doughnut holes are the real deal. If you have a hankering for Apple Pie, but need a vegan version, check out the recipe that she has brought us, also from her new book.

Some people think doughnut holes are a poor alternative to bigger and better whole doughnuts. I, on the other hand, think these bite-size dough balls are a wonder because they fry up perfectly crisp in every bite. They also allow us to portion out our desire for doughnuts a little bit more. Unless you eat all of them in one sitting (okay, maybe I have, too), in which case—forget I wrote that last sentence.

Doughnut Holes
Author: 
Makes: about 24 doughnut holes
 
Ingredients
  • 5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
  • 4½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup vegan margarine, melted
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot. Use a candy/deep-fry thermometer.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond milk, flaxseed meal, water, flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and vegan margarine.
  3. Scoop out the dough with a tablespoon, or use an ice cream scooper for a more circular shape.
  4. Place the dough in the oil carefully and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  5. Place on a tray lined with paper towels.
  6. Roll these wonderful balls of fried goodness in cinnamon sugar. If you want to get more creative, once the doughnut holes have cooled, poke a hole in the center and use a piping bag to squeeze jam inside.
