- 1 tbsp. spoon of active yeast
- 1 can chickpeas (use liquid only)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp. salt tea
- 1/3 cup vegan butter, melted
- 5 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 vanilla pod (scrape the inside and use the contents) (or use a few drops of vanilla extract)
- 1/2 cup oat milk

Ingredients for the vanilla-lavender stuffing cream:
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 2 TBL spoons of vegan cream
- 1/2 cup lavender icing (recipe above)
Preperation:
First make your frosting and the stuffing cream,
- Whisk together the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and set aside.
- Mix the cream cheese and the vegan butter in a large bowl with the help of a whisk.
- Beat together until creamy and fluffy.
- Add vegan cream and 1/2 cup prepared frosting, then stir until combined.
- Cover and place the mixture in the refrigerator until ready for assembly.
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the oat milk and let sit for about 5 minutes until it bubbles.
- Whisk together chickpea liquid and sugar, then combine with vegan butter and salt.
- Add flour, one cup at a time until your dough comes together and lifts off the sides of the bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. (You can also refrigerate the dough overnight.)
- When the dough is ready, divide it in half, roll half into a square, approximately 10×10, and cut into 16 squares.
- Place the squares on a tray and let them rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Heat about 3 inches of oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (180 C) and line a plate with paper towels.
- Drop batter squares gently, a few at a time, into the oil and fry on each side for about 30 seconds or until golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared plate.
- Then fill the little donuts using a long, narrow piping bag with the vanilla-lavender cream and insert into the center of the donuts.
- Then pour about 1 tablespoon of frosting over each donut.
- Decorate with some lavender flowers.
