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!

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!! :)

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.
