There is a donut shop in Atlanta called Revolution Doughnuts, if you get the chance, go there. They have some vegan donuts and some non vegan donuts, but there are plenty of vegan ones to choose from and I have never been disappointed. They are all amazing, they have a yeast donut that is topped with orange and pistachio, and it is an amazing combination. Last time I had it, I was very inspired by how orange and pistachio taste together. I was thinking I would make my own take on this, and make it a baked donut, and fill it will pistachios processed into a flour. Add orange zest into the batter and then top it with an orange glaze. Oh, and some more chopped pistachios on top!
Is pistachio flour a thing? I don’t know, but it definitely is now! It was so beautiful to create and even more beautiful to eat! It gives the dough such good flavor and texture, I may have eaten more than my fair share of these babies. I made little ones, but you can make whatever size you want. I love baby donuts, it makes me feel better about eating like 10 of them, I’m all like “this has to only be like one donut, right?”
I have been considering doing this flavor combination for a while, but I thought winter was the best time to do it. When I think of pistachios and oranges, those flavors and scents make me think of cold weather. So, I thought now was a good time! They are perfect in every way. Really quick to make, baked not fried, and ready to party in your mouth.
Also, sorry for all the recipes that require a food processor, but I often forget not everyone has one, because they are magic. If you are vegan, or just trying to eat healthier, get yo’ self a food processor, you can use it for so many things. Including maybe continuing to process the pistachios into butter? I dunno? Maybe? It sounds pretty good, and I might go give it a try!
Okay, kids, have fun! Make these donuts, enjoy January! See you soon, and I hope you enjoy! As always, if you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear it!
A while back, I was making some regular vegan yeast doughnuts, just experimenting with glazes and toppings, and I was getting really tired of frying them one or two at a time. Not to mention, I realized how super greasy they became, and how unhealthy they really must be. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good fried doughnut as much as the next person, I just can’t really function afterwards. Generally, I want to slip into a food coma and do nothing the rest of the day.
So, I got to thinking, the only baked doughnuts I really ever see are the cake style doughnuts, and those are formed in a pan. I am also into the cake style doughnut, but most of the time when I think of a doughnut, and I am really craving one, all I can picture is that light, fluffy, sweet and tender yeast style. I began to develop some ideas about just trying to make a basic yeast flavor, letting it rise like I was going to fry them, cutting them out like I was going to fry them, but just baking them instead at a really high temperature.
The results were nothing short of totally amazing, and drool worthy. Also, something unbelievable happened, I didn’t feel like I was going to pass out for the rest of eternity. I actually felt pretty good.
Deciding on the flavor combo was of course a no-brainer, as Fall is upon us and my favorite season. My husband loves snicker doodles more than life, so bam! Pumpkin Snicker Doodle!
This dough is incredibly easy, and for anyone who has ever been intimidated by yeast dough, this is a good place to start. I implore you to give it a shot, you will be fine. The flavors for this dough can be switched up pretty easily, and I will definitely be making more doughnuts like this in the future.
Light and fluffy, but not greasy, these are the stuff of dreams. I hope you enjoy!Adapted from Baked by Rachel
