So, I couldn’t stop after the pumpkin doughnuts.
You know I can’t stop at just one when I make something that tickles my fancy. The wheels got turning yesterday and before I knew it, the most insane doughnut appeared before my eyes.
This is what you get when you combine a delicious whole wheat doughnut + chocolate chips + mouth-watering cookie dough glaze…
Key words being: Cookie Dough Glaze!

Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Doughnuts
If chocolate chip cookies were in doughnut form, these are the ones. The cookie dough glaze is like raw cookie dough batter, only silkier, dreamier, more tempting. I can imagine these being served for a birthday dessert because they are a luxurious and rich dessert to celebrate! Be sure to make the cookie dough glaze to go with it (see below)…you won’t be sorry!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup Earth Balance, melted
- 3 tbsp applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all purpose)
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar (or white sugar)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- Cookie Dough Glaze (see below)
1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease doughnut pans with Earth Balance. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, Earth Balance, applesauce, vanilla, vinegar). Sift in the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
3. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Bake for 12 minutes or until doughnuts gently spring back when touched.
5. Meanwhile prepare the cookie dough glaze (below). Remove the doughnut pan from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes. With a butter knife, carefully remove the doughnuts and place on cooling rack for another 10 minutes.
6. Dip doughnuts into the glaze and serve immediately. Doughnuts keep for 2-3 days. I suggest not putting the glaze on until just before serving.

While the whole wheat doughnuts were baking, I whipped up this easy cookie dough glaze that is so mouth-watering I almost forgot about the doughnuts in the oven.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glaze
Like raw cookie dough in a glaze form. My goal for this glaze was to take my beloved raw cookie dough and thin it out, while making it even more luxurious and silky at the same time. The outcome was so mouth-watering, I almost jumped for joy when I tasted it.
Inspired by How Sweet It Is and Chocolate Covered Katie.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup cashew butter
- 2 tbsp Earth Balance, melted
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar (or just use white sugar)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, but thickens it up a bit)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
1. Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Makes 1 cup.

The outcome = chocolate chip cookies + cookie dough in doughnut form. Definitely a winner!!
Stick a few candles in there and you have yourself a fun birthday dessert. 
Eric loved these doughnuts so much he jokingly suggested I sell the recipe to Tim Horton’s or Dunkin Donuts. ;) I’m not sure if they could handle all this vegan goodness, but I know you guys can!

Congratulations to Kayla!
Congrats to Kayla! I need to find some time to make these little doughnuts!!!!
must.get.doughnut.pan.
The best part about this recipe is that I already have all of those ingredients on hand! The worst part about this recipe is that I don’t have a doughnut pan and now I’m suddenly wondering if I can justify buying one………… ;)
wow…you’ve become really creative with your recipes…you’ve really come a long way :) kudos to you :)
you could put up a restaurant from all your recipes :)
oh my god these look amazing. i am SO close to buying a mini-doughnut pan, but i’m kinda nervous that all of your doughnut recipes will consume my life :)
Congrats Kayla!! That is an amazing prize!
Can you send me a donut as a consolation prize? ;)
COngrats Kayla. What an amazing prize.
Yummers, these look amazing. I think I will have to whip some up and quickly. Thanks for the recipe.
I need to run to the store asap to get the ingredients to make these! They look so delicious!
Congrats to Kayla !
I am SO making these donuts Saturday morning !
Just need a donut pan like Melissa and Alison.
I wonder if they would be good as muffins ? My kids may not like them the same without the hole in the middle though :)
I have a great bran muffin recipe on my website…I think it’s vegan (is raisin bran vegan??) if you use almond milk and vinegar instead of buttermilk. www.healthymammas.com
Thanks Angela…always love your pictures and recipes…wish I could make every one you post (or move next door to you so I could sample!)
Jenny
Wow Kayla congrats! (Although I am insanely green-monster-eyed jealous.) What an amazing giveaway! And those doughnuts? Yummmmmmmm
Also, it’s that time of year, this would also be a great teacher luncheon recipe ! Who wouldn’t want to have a yummy healthy doughnut after lunch ;-)
Yum I want to wat that cookie dough syrup with a spoon! Congrats Kayla!
Oh Angela, these photos are absolutely incredible! Well, your photos always are beautiful… but these are especially incredible because it’s my favorite subject: cookie dough :) :).
I want to eat that last photo off the screen, but my computer isn’t letting me do so. MEAN!
haha thanks Katie!
Would it be ok to make the glaze and eat it by the spoonful?! Hahaha! :)
If it’s not ok, then I’m in big trouble…
Doughnuts and cookie dough in one mouth-watering sweet treat. . . I am in a sugar coma just thinking about it! Sounds amazing. I might be tempted to just eat the glaze by the spoon and forget the doughnuts, though! :D
those look amazing! Now I really have to get a donut pan!
thesse sound amazing im going to make them right now!
You’re killing me with these donuts :-)
This was just the push I needed to purchase a doughnut pan. Great recipe! Thanks
Yeah, my kids walked in while I was reading this and demanded that I make some of those! I think a mini doughnut pan is in my future! :)
lol busted!! ;)
On another chocolate related topic, I felt like baking something the other day and I was scrolling through your recipes when I came across your Flourless Chocolate cookies. Oh my. For once I had all the ingredients at hand!
Yes, they are as good as you say they are. And yes, they’re even better the day after. Can’t even believe how yummy they taste and how simple they are to make, with very few ingredients and all of them pronounceable!! :)
Hey Lizzie! Glad you enjoyed the flourless cookies and thanks for reminding me about them…I forgot about those little gems!
You’re welcome – but I really should be thanking you for your creativity and passion for bringing us your natural yummy recipes!!
That’s it — I’m going out and getting a donut pan today.
Agreed! So many amazing donut recipes have made it a new essential!
Oh my these look delicious. I’m so glad I have one of those doughnut pans. I may have to make a batch soon. Thanks!
Oh gosh those look amazing!
You just had to go there, didn’t you? Now I’m craving these at 10 o’clock in the morning…it’s gonna be a long day! :)
Oh my goodness, you’ve done it again!! I thought the donuts yesterday were good but these ones…. WOW! And whole wheat makes them healthy, right? :P Congrats to Kayla – I bet you’ve made her a very happy girl this morning! :)
You’ve done it again! For the second day in a row, I have you to thank for an intense donut craving. These look amazing! :)
I haven’t had began doughnuts before and don’t know where to get canned pumpkin where I live, these sound amazing and the addition of chocolate? Yes please.
Ok, I definitely need to go and find myself a doughnut pan!!
Alright, this blows my mind (in a good way) and I am super motivated now. :) I absolutley love doughnuts especially with espresso and anyone who wants to get me something….doughnut pan please!
Congrats Kayla, enjoy!

Congrats to the winner!

I won a $25 gift certificate to the Steamy Kitchen Shop…but they don’t ship to Canada. I’m giving it away on my blog:
http://positiveponderings.blogspot.com/2011/08/giveaway-benefit-from-my-loss.html
I’m 100% certain a donut pan is going on our wedding registry…if I can hold out till then. ;)
Congrats to the blender winner! I actually just bought a Cusinart combination blender/food processor yesterday for an awesome price during a Woot Off on http://www.woot.com ! Finally I can make Green Monsters and hummus and pesto again!
Just that cookie dough glaze alone makes me want to jump for joy! I could totally see myself topping oats… And muffins… And crepes with this. The possibilities are endless!
Ooooh, creative doughnut flavor!! Love the last photo with the bite taken out. So far, I can’t get the Gf+vegan doughnuts to turn out and I don’t want to use 5 different flours + other weird ingredients. Maybe I’ll just try a mix of oat + buckwheat flour and hope it acts like whole wheat…w/o the gluten…haha…disaster in the making!!
Ashley, I have made gluten free vegan doughnuts plenty of times. I just use an all purpose gf flour blend. Then one I use the most is by Schar. I use a doughnut pan. They come out with a pretty good texture and consistency.
Oh wow! The glaze alone looks amazing :)
Well, I was starving BEFORE I read this post and now I’m only worse for wear! These look absolutely amazing. I don’t think I could choose between these and the pumpkin spice…would definitely have to make both :)
I think I just died.
Yep, I died.
I can’t let my hubby see this…I’ll never hear the end until I make them!
Congrats, Kayla!
Very awesome doughnuts, my gosh. When I get back from holidays in Sept I’m going to have to whip out the doughnut pan and get to work!
i love when you get out ofcontrol with the doughnut making! :) these look stunning! and who doesn’t love c. chip cookie dough???
My eyes are saucers. Yummmm
1) These look out of this world
2) I definitely thought it read “combine a delicious whole wheat doughnut +(“plus”) chocolate chips +(“plus”) mouth-(“minus”)watering cookie dough glaze”. hehehe. Plus mouth. I was wondering how you subtract a “watering cookie dough glaze”, and then the synapses in my brain remembered how to work.
LOL too funny!
I was sold at chocolate chip cookie dough. The fact there was a donut under the glaze just made it better!
You are so talented! :) The donuts look great! My manfriend would love them!
