Instructions

To Make The Donuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Could you gently spray or brush the donut pan with oil and set aside?
Combine gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
Mix almond milk, coconut oil, flaxseeds, and vanilla in another bowl.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in carrots and crystallized ginger.
Scoop batter into donut pan and divide equally to fill the cavity. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling before adding frosting.

To Make Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

Place vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar in a food processor, add vegan butter and process until smooth pause and scrape down the sides. Scoop frosting in a medium bowl and stir in crystallized ginger.
