I was really excited about making vegan doughnuts -- chocolate to boot! Unfortunately, even though I followed the recipe exactly, and kept my oil at 375, these were the worst culinary disaster of my life. I got greasy globs with uncooked centers. So bad I threw away more than half the dough. Not sure what went wrong, but I'm going to look for a different recipe. Glad this works better for others, but it's not for me.

Totally awesome! I've been vegan for awhile now and love searching for new recipes and LOVE baking. My brother and I have been talking about how much we wish we could find a vegan doughnut and this recipe totally satisfied that craving! It's great! The first time I made them was for guests from the south, definitely anti-vegans and they loved it!! Make these beautiful doughnuts!!!
