Notes
Tips and tricks to make these Baked Mini Choco Vegan Donuts:
Oven Baking times may vary. See what works for you, till a skewer / toothpick comes out clean
Bring all ingredients to room temperature before using
As this is an eggless (and vegan) recipe, the texture might be different if using whole wheat or All purpose flour in place of pastry flour.
If you are omitting any / adding any ingredient from the above list, the baking time and output may vary.
If the bread is browning too fast, tent the baking pan with aluminium foil quickly
I used a Donut dimpled plan. If you use any other pan, the bake time would vary slightly. Keep an eye on the rising bake.
