This month, I have been staying inactive as my blogging is concerned. Sruti is on her vacation and I have been travelling on and off. When at home, it is really very tough to concentrate on the blog. So this month I am only posting the recipes for the challenges I am taking part because I do not want to skip any group challenges. This month’s Baking Eggless challenge was suggested by Jayanthi of Sizzling Veggies. She suggested us to try out Crispy and Creamy donuts from All Recipes. I posted the eggless version of Kripy Kreme Donuts a short time back and so I didn’t want to make it again. So I used the recipe for the donuts and made mini donuts. I skipped the cream coating and instead I opted for chocolate coating. Last year when I met with some blogger friends in Chennai, I visited the City Centre mall. While waiting for others to come, I saw the donut stall at the ground floor. It was looking so colourful and Sruti was amazed at the chocolate coated mini donuts. So I bought a set of four and she finished it by the time others arrived. I remembered those cute donuts and tried my hand at making it at home for this challenge. To tell you the truth, the ones I made at home were delicious than the store bought ones. They were crispy on top and had a soft flesh. The chocolate added a nice crunch to the donuts and Sruti loved them.
