Pancake mix baked dark chocolate donuts.  Vegan & gluten free.

Happy Monday!  So the new week is here and I was in a rush for a quick & easy snack item for my kids before they got home from school.  I picked up a vegan & gluten free pancake batter to try at Home Goods last week & in my rush today – I thought I would try to whip up a baked donut recipe using the batter.  Turns out… it worked perfectly and could double as breakfast too!  Now I did douse half of the donuts with melted dark chocolate but you can easily omit & serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup for breakfast.  I also made these in mini form but they would totally work in normal sized donuts.

Now I’ve only tried this with the mix I have but I don’t see why any pancake mix wouldn’t work.

Okay, okay… I’ve been MIA this week.  Working on a lot of things in the background (one very exciting opportunity in June!) but I’m back with my next installment of favorite vegan products.  This vegan cheese post was so wildly popular, this is going to be a series of my favorites each week mmm kay?  Great.

So I will digress for a moment.  I’ve been off from my private “cheffing” (yes, I know not an actual word) while my main client is traveling on spring break to Hawaii.  So I’ve been doing a lot of family things… like cooking for them – ha!  Lunches with my daughters.  Road trips.  Lots of fun things.  But this weekend was proved to be a wild ride.  I won’t get into specifics, but that WOW, dreamy university with the 5 year masters program in psychology acceptance came in on Friday night WITH a sweet academic scholarship!  Okay, I’m trying to keep it together and breathe here.  Then on Saturday… I got a huge, I mean HUGE food blogging job. I’m SO overwhelmed with gratitude!

Okay so let’s get this vegan dairy post rolling…
