Irish Whiskey Donuts

February 19, 2020 By Gretchen 4 Comments

Whiskey and Donuts.

Who would have thought?

But seriously these Irish Whiskey Donuts are the bomb diggity!

Don’t be discouraged by the Whiskey in the recipe, after all it is St. Patrick’s Day!

Irish Whiskey Donuts

Not to mention the alcohol bakes out and what you are left with is a really deep, rich layer of flavor that only whiskey can impart to a recipe.

A splash added to my Best Vegan Buttercream Recipe are you will thank me for this, you’ll see!

But of course for those who do not do alcohol in any way shape or form, you can use all milk in place of the whiskey here.

If a Vanilla Donut is what you are after, then simply leave out the coco powder and replace it with that same amount of flour.

    Any chance the coconut oil could be replaced with something else? And would wheat flour work instead ?

      yes any vegetable oil (or melted vegan butter) is fine. As for flour question? All flour is WHEAT flour, so If you mean 100% whole wheat? No. it would be too heavy and dry result. You can sub in like 1/4 cup though, but not much more than that- it will really change the result too much and you wont like it.
