Yes donut cereal is real, you can make it at home, AND it’s vegan

With the holiday season in full swing, it’s hard not to find ways to make everything in your life feel festive. Some are even making breakfast into a fun holiday affair. And in the spirit of fun breakfast options, we discovered a magical cereal that may change your life.

It’s not specifically holiday-themed, but because this delicacy is homemade, it’s perfect for a special occasion. Donut Cereal made by Sam of So Beautifully Real, a vegan blog and bakery, may be the answer to all your breakfast dreams.

This Donut Cereal is gorgeous, looks delicious, and it’s 100% vegan. So basically, it totally wins breakfast.

"Are You Cereal" Donut Cereal. Raw, Vegan & .. well, donuts for breakfast - Amiright? (serves 2, or 1 if you're feeling greedy lol) 2 cups oats, blended into a meal 1 cup ground almonds 1/2 cup date paste** 1-2 tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla powder or extract 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg pinch of salt a few tbsp water To serve; Melted Vegan Choc & Vegan Sprinkles to ice donuts (optional) Plant Based Milk of choice to serve 1. Combine the ground almonds/oats and spices in a mixing bowl. Add the date paste & maple syrup and work with your hands until it begins to stick together into a dough, gradually adding a few tbsp of water at a time to help it bind. Add enough water until it is a pliable dough that holds together well. 2. Press into mini silicone donut moulds and chill for 20-30 minutes (or you could prepare them the night before for the morning) 3. If icing with vegan chocolate simply ice then chill them in the freezer for 5 minutes to set the chocolate. 4. Serve with plant based milk and anything else your heart desires. ** Date paste is simply dates that have been pitted, soaked in boiling water then drained and processed into a thick paste. I keep it stored in the fridge for these kind of occasions & for sweetening things. Happy days. #bestofvegandonut

WOW! That looks so good, and we can’t believe that it’s vegan. But we don’t have to believe, because Sam provides the recipe. That means we can make it ourselves!

The ingredients are actually pretty simple — almonds, oats, maple syrup. The only thing unusual is the date paste, which she explains above. But if you’re familiar with many vegan desserts, you know that date paste is a very common ingredient.
