Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Vegan chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1.5 cups Soy milk (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 0.125 teaspoon Turmeric (optional for color)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dough. Warm the almond milk until lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Knead until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, combine soy milk and cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Heat it over medium heat, whisking constantly until it thickens.

Step 5

Remove from heat and add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of turmeric for color. Let it cool completely.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out donuts using a 3-inch donut cutter or similar-sized cutter.

Step 7

Place the donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let them rise again for about 20-30 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry each donut until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 9

Use a piping bag to fill the cooled donuts with the vanilla cream filling.

Step 10

Prepare the chocolate glaze by melting vegan chocolate chips with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave.

Step 11

Dip the top of each donut in the chocolate glaze and place on a wire rack to set.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your vegan Boston creme donuts!
