  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking power

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup nut milk (make sure your milk is room temp/slightly warmed and NOT cold!)
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 2 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 & 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrots (about 1 large carrot) OR packaged shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup raisins or walnuts

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese, softened at room temp
  • 4 oz vegan butter, softened at room temp
  • 4 cups unrefined powdered sugar, or a little more to taste if you want it sweeter
  • Splash of vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon or more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and add a little coconut oil to your donut pants. Shred carrots with a grater.
  • Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir well.
  • Add all wet ingredients to a bowl and whisk well.
  • Slowly add your wet ingredients to your dry, mixing well but don't overmix.
  • Add carrots and raisins and mix again.
  • Add batter to your donut pans ASAP, filling each donut cavity 3/4 way full.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are firm and a toothpick comes out clean.Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • When cooled. add glaze.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

Notes

  • Make sure to do all your prep work before your batter is ready as these need to go in the oven as soon as the wet and dry ingredients are mixed.
  • You need your nut milk to be at room temperature or else your coconut oil will solidify in the batter. If the coconut oil solidifies, it won't be evenly distributed. I just put mine in the microwave for about 15 seconds or so until slightly warmed. To be certain your coconut oil doesn't solidify, mix your milk and oil first and you can always put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds if it starts to solidify
