Speculoos Paste Preparation:

  • If necessary, add a bit more plant-based milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Set aside your speculoos paste for use in the donut recipe or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for another use.

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cane sugar.
  • In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Incorporate the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  • Add the speculoos paste and gently mix.
  • Lightly grease your donut pan. Fill each cavity three-quarters full.
  • Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan before unmolding and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Glazing and decoration:

  • Mix the powdered sugar with the plant-based milk. If desired, add 2 tablespoons of speculoos paste for a stronger flavor.
  • Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and let it set.
  • Garnish (optional) with crumbled speculoos and/or crushed dried fruits.
