How to make Fail-proof Red velvet yeast chocolate glazed donut

Donuts. Red velvet yeast donut 🤩

My kids are asking for donuts from last week. Due to the circuit breaker enforced in SG, like everyone else, we avoid going out as much as possible. Nowadays birthday parties are filled with donuts, pizza and burgers to lessen the burden of the food preparation. Dunkin Donuts, Jco and Crispy creme are famous among kids.

I like the mini donuts way more than the normal ones as it minimizes the sugar intake. It also gives us the opportunity to taste more flavours when buying in dozens. The glazed donuts are available in many flavours, from simple chocolate, tiramisu to avocado.

The donuts are normally fried ones and some healthier options are baking and steaming.

I wanted to make red velvet cake once more as my daughter was asking for it. For her birthday I made a red velvet cake and she liked it a lot. I planned red velvet yeast donut for an evening snack and the preparation started around afternoon. I have Bob’s red mill whole wheat flour. I like to add whole wheat wherever possible and I don’t buy all-purpose flour.

Yeasted donuts are fail-proof to try. I made beetroot powder to replace the artificial red colour. I used brown sugar as this will easily blend chocolate together and the flavour adds more taste. I steamed the red velvet yeast donuts to make it healthier.
