    Oil, for frying
  • Once the oil is hot, drop a tablespoon or a teaspoon full of the batter into oil depending on the desired size. Do not overcrowd the pan as they will expand while frying.
  • Fry them in oil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they are brown.
  • Transfer it to paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Step III

  • If you like coating or sprinkling the doughnut holes with cinnamon sugar – In a bowl, add sugar and cinnamon powder and mix well.
    2 to 3 tablespoon Fine Sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
  • Roll or sprinkle each donut hole in this sugar cinnamon mixture.
  • Vegan Pumpkin Doughnut Holes iare now ready. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Vary the sweetness in the recipe as desired. My family prefers a mild sweet version of donuts. 
  • Do not overcrowd the pan as they will expand when fried and if you fry too many in one go, you will not only reduce the tempertaure of the oil, this will also effect the way in which donuts rise and turn brown.
  • The batter should be thick. If the batter becomes thin, then add in extra flour and if it becomes dry, add little milk and adjust sweetness accordingly.
  • If you are non-vegan feel free to use whole milk in the recipe.
  • See that the oil is not too hot or too cold. If its too hot then the donut will turn dark brown very quickly and will not be cooked inside, and if its too cold it will absorb excess oil.
  • To check if the oil is hot, just drop a little piece of the batter mix and check if it sizzles and comes up.
  • If you want to use egg, then try this banana doughnut holes or donut holes recipe.
