Larsen Bakery's Vegan Donuts



These donuts are brilliant. They are nothing like the dense, cakey, vegan donuts I've tried in the past. Yes, they do violate almost every nutritional principle I've come to believe in, but they are unbelievably reminiscent of the donut-store pastries I enjoyed in my pre-vegan days. And to top it off, they are only 160 calories each.

You can get these Bavarian cream-filled donuts at Vegan Essentials. Eat them quickly after they arrive (no problem there) since they are shipped fresh and contain no preservatives. After putting a dollop of the chocolate frosting on top, we just warm them up for a few minutes in the toaster oven, then spread the gooey frosting around. Amazing. With products like these, there are fewer and fewer excuses to eat animal-based foods.
