Spicy Halloween Doughnut Recipe

by The Female Glaze

What is Halloween without some treats? To help us get ready for Halloween, we asked Francesca aka. The Female Glaze to share with us her delicious Chai & Hazelnut Activated Charcoal doughnuts! They’re vegan AND features our Spicy Chai syrup - let’s get baking!

INGREDIENTS:

DOUGHNUTS

• 125g plain flour

• 80g sugar

• 1tsp baking powder

• 1tsp activated charcoal

• 2tbs NEMI Teas Chai Syrup

• 1tsp lemon juice

• 160ml soy milk

• 30g melted vegan butter

• 40g ground hazelnuts 

ICING

• 60g white chocolate

• 2tsp activated charcoal
  

METHOD:

1. Mix flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix soy milk, chai syrup and lemon juice in a separate bowl and let it rest for a few minutes until it resembles buttermilk. Mix everything together and add melted butter and activated charcoal. Once the batter is ready, add hazelnuts.

2. Pour into doughnut moulds. Bake for 22 minute at 180°. Allow doughnuts to cool down before the next step.

3. For the icing, microwave 45g of white chocolate until melted. Add the rest of the white chocolate and mix well. Add activated charcoal. Dip doughnuts in melted dyed chocolate and let them settle for 30 minutes.

But if you’re running short on time, or would like to send some treats to loved ones, you can order these (and many other goodies) on the Female Glaze website. They deliver nationwide every Wednesday, or find her at markets in London!
