👩🍳 Instructions on how to make easy Halloween Donuts (without Yeast)
STEP 1: COMBINE ALL THE INGREDIENTS
- Combine Self Raising Flour with Cocoa Powder, Baking Soda, Melted Unsalted Butter, Kosher Salt, Light Brown Sugar and Eggs
- Fold everything to make a dough. The dough will be dry to touch but soft and moist upon pressing.
- Roll about 1 tablespoon of the dough
- Roll the dough lengthwise into an elongated cylinder. Join the edges to make a ring shaped donut
STEP 2: BAKE THE DONUTS
- Place the Donuts in a lined 9x13 inches baking dish
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Apply egg wash over the Donuts
- Bake them in the 350F preheated oven for 10 minutes
STEP 3: DECORATE THE DONUTS
- Melt Dark Chocolate with a few drops of Coconut Oil in the microwave
- Microwave for 30 seconds bursts and whisk until smooth and lump free
- Dunk the Donuts in melted dark chocolate and glaze them
- Decorate them with Halloween Sprinkles and Candy Eyeballs and serve!
Remember that you need to cool down the donuts to room temperature before you glaze them.
Also, after you've glazed them, keep them on a wire rack and then decorate them.
💡 Hint: Keep the wire rack on a lined dish so that you can catch the excess drippings and sprinklers and throw them off.
🤔 Make Ahead Halloween Donuts
Yes of course! I love to make these ahead of time. Make Ahead Donut Dough will is such a time saver. You can cut out the donuts and refrigerate it overnight. This will give ample time for the dough to rise making them super fluffy and soft when you bake them the next morning.
You can freeze unbaked donuts. Just place cut out Donuts on a parchment paper lined dish, and freeze them until solid. Once solid, transfer to a heavy duty freezer friendly zip lock bag and freeze these Donuts. 🧊
While baking them, just place them directly in a lined baking dish and bake in the preheated oven. just bake for 5-6 more minutes.
🌱 Is this Vegan and Gluten Free?
No. But you can make these Vegan. For Vegan Donuts replace butter with Vegan Margarine and Eggs with Apple Sauce.
To make Gluten Free Donuts, replace AP Flour with AP Gluten Free Flour blend and Baking Soda with Gluten Free Baking Powder.
💯 Top tips to make the Best Halloween Brownies
- The donut dough should be absolutely soft. If your donut dough is not soft, DO NOT add extra milk or water. Just knead it properly and it will turn smooth
- If you're adding yeast, then activate the yeast with a few granules of sugar and water. Only upon activation, add the yeast to the dough. Cover and allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes.
- If you have a donut mould, just pour this dough in the mould and bake the donuts
- For making Donuts without Donut Mold, just roll a small portion of the dough and roll into an elongated cylinder. Join the edges to make a ring shaped Donut
- Do not forget to brush the Donuts with egg wash. It gives them a crispy top and moist inside.
