    Amaretto doughnuts

    In the spirit of taking on new challenges, I decided to show that you can easily replace the milk in your baking recipes with Almond Breeze. It's as easy as swapping out one for the other.

    Baked amaretto doughnuts

    These donuts are cakey and flavoured with amaretto, definitely a fun treat. If you'd prefer a plain baked doughnut recipe, try these baked sour cream baked donuts or baked pumpkin donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar.

    Ingredients

    For the doughnuts

    • 83 mL (⅓ cups) Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk
    • 28 grams (2 tablespoon) unsalted butter
    • 67 grams (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
    • 15 mL (1 tablespoon) amaretto liqueur
    • 1.25 mL (¼ teaspoon) pure vanilla extract
    • 5 mL (1 teaspoon) vinegar
    • 1 large egg(s)
    • 125 grams (1 cup) bleached all-purpose flour
    • 5 mL (1 teaspoon) baking powder
    • 1.25 mL (¼ teaspoon) Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt

    For the glaze

    • 100 grams (¾ cups) icing sugar
    • 10 grams (1 tablespoon) Cacao Barry extra brute cocoa powder
    • 2.5 mL (½ teaspoon) corn syrup
    • 1.25 mL (¼ teaspoon) pure vanilla extract
    • 15 mL (1 tablespoon) amaretto liqueur
    • 15 mL (1 tablespoon) Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk
    • 1 handful toasted sliced almonds, to finish

    Instructions

    First prepare the doughnuts

    • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare your doughnut pans by greasing them and then placing them on a baking sheet.
    • Melt the butter with with almond milk over medium–high heat in a small saucepan.
    • Pour this mixture over the granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Let cool until the mixture is just warm/almost room temperature, stirring every so often to help dissolve the sugar.
    • Add the amaretto, vanilla, vinegar, and egg and mix well to combine.
    • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
    • Transfer the doughnut batter to a piping bag and pipe into the prepared pans.
    • Baked the doughnuts for about 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Prepare the glaze

    • In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients to form a thick, not too drippy glaze. Smooth it on the tops of the doughnuts with an offset spatula or twist/dip the tops of each in the glaze, finishing with a sprinkling of toasted almond.
    • Best eaten the day they are made.

     Almond Breeze sent me samples of their almond milk and financial compensation to develop recipes with their products this month. Thanks for supporting the sponsors that allow me to create new recipes for Kitchen Heals Soul. As always, please know that I wouldn’t mention the product if it wasn’t worth it. And I really have been using Almond Breeze since 2009.

      Best wishes for the new job! I bet if you took a dozen or so of these doughnuts to work, you'd get to know your co-workers quite well really fast!

      On another note, it was good to meet you in person at FBC2014!
