vegan beet icing!

Ohhhh guys, you didn't think that you'd seen the last of donut posts just because I've been eating cleaner lately, did you? Pshhhhh I could never part ways with my donut pan! I've been opting for healthier versions of my favourite old treats lately, and these donuts were a fun result of using up fresh produce from the fridge and trying new things.


I used the same recipe that I use for my breakfast donuts, but instead of topping with Greek yogurt, I wanted something a little more exciting.

Mix 2 tablespoons of coconut oil with 1 table spoon of beet juice and 1/4 cup of icing sugar. Increase sugar or oil until you get the right consistency. Done! And very festive for V-Day!

The reason I love the coconut oil frosting? It's dairy free + vegan for friends with allergies, it's more affordable than cooking with butter, and healthier... but actually the biggest perk for me is working with the frosting - the texture is amazing! It reminds me of fondant kind of. It cools and hardens really quickly too, which is dreamy for food presentation ;)
