Ingredients
For the Doughnuts
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon flax seed meal mixed with 5 tsp of almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond or soy yogurt
For the Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy milk
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- ⅓ teaspoon cardamom powder
Garnish
- Edible dry rose petals for garnish
- desiccated coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly coat the doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, coconut oil, rose water, flax mixture, and plant yogurt until smooth.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and keep mixing until combined.
- Transfer the batter into a zippered plastic bag or piping bag to make it easier to pour. Snip the end and pipe the batter into the pan, filling each 2/3 of the way full.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth.
- Dip cooled doughnuts into the glaze and then garnish with dried rose petals and desiccated coconut. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to cool the doughnuts completely before glazing for best results.
- You can use different plant-based yogurt like soy or coconut yogurt as a substitute.
- Adjust the amount of rose water to your preference for a more subtle or stronger floral taste.
