Ingredients

Doughnuts

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegan sour cream, I used Tofutti
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup nondairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Orange Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoon orange juice

Chocolate Ganache

  • ¼ cup full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly spray a doughnut pan and set aside.
  • Combine sugar, vegan sour cream, canola oil, orange juice, milk, and zest in a small bowl. In a larger bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined.
  • With a piping bag (or spoon) fill doughnut cavities ⅔ full. Bake 13-15 minutes, until lightly golden and doughnut springs back when gently touched.
  • Allow doughnuts to cool ten minutes before removing from the pan. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile make the toppings. To make the orange glaze combine powdered sugar and orange juice with a whisk until desired consistency; it should be thick, but not clumpy.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, heat coconut milk over medium-high heat until milk reaches a scald (just before boil). Pour over chocolate chips. Cover for 3 minutes then gently stir together until evenly mixed.
  • Dip the top half of each doughnut in the orange glaze or chocolate ganache and let sit for 30 minutes until glaze has set up completely.
