Description

These Vegan German Chocolate Galaxy Donuts are a magical blend of rich cacao, fragrant rose, and warming cardamom, finished with a dreamy galaxy glaze. The combination of fiber-rich ingredients, natural sweeteners, and plant-based fats makes this a decadent yet nourishing treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 1 cup organic all-purpose flour (consider sub 1/2 cup almond 1/2 cup oat however, I have not made this so it may take some trial and error for other ratios)
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder (can sub cocoa powder)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp ground flax
  • 1 tsp edible ground rose petal powder (I like Anima Mundi) – this is optional
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom seed
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste

For the Galaxy Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 1–2 tsp melted coconut oil
  • Natural food coloring or beet juice (boil down)

or 

  • 1/2– 3/4 cup powdered coconut sugar
  • 1 cup raw cashews made into cashew creme – see instructions
  • Natural food coloring or beet juice (boiled down)

 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Donut Batter

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. Warm the Plant Milk: Heat the plant milk slightly (warm, not hot) and stir in apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk effect.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, coconut sugar, flaxseed, rose powder, and cardamom.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, and warmed plant milk mixture.
  5. Create the Batter: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

2. Bake the Donuts

  1. Fill the Donut Pan: Pour the batter into the donut molds, filling about ¾ full.
  2. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool Completely: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

3. Make the Galaxy Glaze

  1. Mix the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the powdered coconut sugar, almond milk, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  2. Create the Galaxy Effect: Divide the glaze into separate bowls and add natural food coloring or beet juice. Swirl the colors together for a cosmic look.

4. Glaze & Enjoy!

  1. Dip the Donuts: Once the donuts are cool, dip them into the galaxy glaze, letting the excess drip off.
  2. Set & Serve: Let them set for 10 minutes, then enjoy your Vegan German Chocolate Galaxy Donuts!

Cashew creme alternative 

Blend the Cashew Crème: Soak 1 cup of cashews in warm water for 1 hour. Rinse. Place in blender. Add just enough water to cover the cashews, approximately 1/2 cup. Blend until silky smooth. 

Mix 1/2 cashew creme with 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Add sugar until desired consistency. Add plant dyes and then blend again.
