Whiskey and Donuts ~ breakfast of champions! LOL

I for one always appreciate alcohol in my bakes as it lends another layer of flavor and depth

Not to mention the alcohol bakes out

Irish Whiskey Donuts

So you are left with a deep, complex, richness that only whiskey can impart

With another splash added to my Best Vegan Buttercream Recipe

Be sure to use a good quality alcohol here not some bottom shelf cheap -O brand

Irish Whiskey Donuts

Of course for those who do not do alcohol in any way shape or form

You can use all plant milk in place of the whiskey here or coffee would be even better!

    I’m sad that I switch phone and lost some of your old recipes, if is ok with you can you tell me where can I find your old recipes when you had the bakery, if not I respect your decision. And thank you so much for all those fun years. Have a lovely day.
    Or. I still watch your vegans recipes.🥰😁

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

    • Gretchen

      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.
