How to Prepare Cookies and Cream Doughnuts [Vegan]
- Sprinkle the dry yeast over the warm milk and allow it to proof for about 5 minutes until it's slightly frothy.
- Melt the vegan and then get the flax meal combined with the hot water and let it stand to thicken for 5-10 minutes.
- In a mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine all the ingredients including the frothed yeast/milk mixture except for the oil. The oil is for frying the donuts!
- Mix this on low speed, until everything is incorporated, for about 30 seconds
- Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to help it along and mix on low to medium for 8 more minutes on medium speed.
- Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and set it in a warm spot, covered for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, fold the dough over onto itself and continue let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to 1/4-1/2-inch thick.
- Cut dough with a 3-inch round cutter for filled donuts and for ring style donuts you will take a smaller cutter and cut holes into the centers - save the holes to fry and make donut holes coated with sugar.
- Transfer the donuts to a parchment lined sheet pan and allow them to rest for 15-30 minutes while you heat the frying oil.
- In a large, deep heavy bottomed sauce pot heat 3 cups of frying oil to approximately 375°F.
- Fry the donuts for approximately 1 minute on each side using a metal or wooden utensil to do the flipping. Be very careful working with hot oil, it is very dangerous if it spills or splatters on your skin.
- Remove the donuts to a cooling rack or a sheet pan lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Glaze cooled donuts in confectioner's sugar glaze and then dip them in crushed Oreos.

Oreos are not vegan. They contain palm oil.
