I truly wish there was a hurried montage of him running, donut in hand to deliver to Lara at Dough the second after the donuts came out of the fryer. i'm sure she would have loved it
Main problem with this approach: if I make a whole batch myself, I‘ll inevitably end up eating at least 3 at once. And later in the day. And the next morning. When I buy one, I at least have portion control. I do admire your relentless inventor‘s spirit though, always fun to watch!
this is true for all baking I do, cookies cakes squares etc. So I try to only do these things when I have ppl over to help crush them all so everyone can enjoy and I don't get fat.
cohen lippold but when you have people over you need to try out a recipe at least once to prevent a total disaster. So you also end up eating a whole cake on your own. I guess the only way out is to have lots of kids who will help eat all cake you bake.🤔
And it is so much worse when you learn a recipe and it turns out it's soo easy so you make it frequently. Had a real problem with mug brownie, done in 5 mins eaten in 1... When I bake I give away the food as quickly as possible to family and friends. It is nice to see them enjoy it and prevents me from eating the whole batch :D
Make fudge with unprocessed cacao, coconut oil, and cacao butter. Add stevia/monk fruit (sweeteners that are healthy), cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, matcha green tea or other seasonings to taste. That is actually healthy. You could even add walnuts and macadamia nuts if you wanted (both are things I consider quite healthy). Also almonds, any type of nut/seed really, but the specific nut/seed has an impact on the nutritional value somewhat.
The concept is that when you use certain ingredients in common junk foods, they makes the sweet less prominent and less tasty, hence the massive amount of sugar to offload that. The reason why junk food does this is for shelf life. 'Healthy' junk food is simply 'fresh, low shelf life' junk food with a lot less intense overuse of ingredients. For instance in Cola, a ton of citrus and sugar levels is seemingly needed for the carbonated liquid, which might be bitter. Another way to look at it is, every produce and crop actually contains sugar in them, hence the carbs, but what we actually taste are the chemical reactions to specific things in them when we cook them or taste them raw, this makes science vastly important for a low sugar, yet sweet tasting food.
Most of the time its enough to reduce the sugar 50% less than in the instructions, almost no one can taste the difference and if the sugar has no function besides adding sweetness, it works very well.
I love that pastry chef “Yeah. No. I can’t tell you how to do the glaze. But I can tell you that you need something to cut the sweetness. ... And there’s this book by this one author that will probably help you with that.” So perfect haha.
2 things: I was curious about the “health” trade off of the coconut butter with sugar. Sure it’s less sugar, but the fat is more calorie dense. Second off, with a “healthy” doughnut in mind, doesn’t it seem appropriate to compare calories and macros of your doughnut with a conventional version of similar size? I was anticipating this info and was kinda disappointed
The ketogenic diet has proved quite handily that fat by itself is not bad for you, it's the combination of carbs/sugar and fat that is bad. So no, I would definitely not even call this 'healthier' than a regular doughnut.
@@diegroblers it still does not change the fact that if you eat more calories then you need you will gain weight, it makes almost no difference what do you eat. But of course i would prefer stuff that tastes intense (just no sweets, i dont like sweet things) but still. You cant go on keto eat 5000cals a day and expect to loose weight, i mean if you are a brick layer or exercise for hours than maybe but as a regular office joe.......... you will gain weight.
@@weltvonalex - I was not talking about calories or gaining weight - I was talking about health - so I have no idea why you're lecturing at me about weight gain.
@@weltvonalex healthy things isn't the same as low calorie food. Nuts are very calory dense, also meats and cheese. Also, fats doesn't stimulate insuline secretion as much as sugar, so you will feel full faster, thus not eating as much. Calories, althought important, aren't all what matters inside the body, we aren't furnaces. Hormones like Leptine, Insuline, GH and so on play important roles in the body when we talk about health in general and losing weight.
The dough is something we do in chile, called, picarones. We add squash to the dough, fried in circles and we dipped everything in a caramel sauce made with brown sugar or cane sugar w/water; orange vanilla flavor and sirved hot and fluffedup with the sauce
And now I going to try to veganise this recipe (I’m thinking 1 flax egg & coconut oil to replace the egg stability and fat, & agar to replace the gelatin to make the glaze shell. Plant milk & vegan butter for those ingredients obviously.)
These sound fantastic. Must try them. Couple of new flavours occurred to me. Carrot cake donuts and rich dark chocolate (zucchini?) donuts. You can tell I'm out of the Brownies era. A squash muffin recipe could be the base. Your glazes are unique! How about honey in the cake donuts? Can they be baked instead of deep fried?
Baked v deep fried...the dif' btwn a donut and a muffin? I make apple cinnamon muffins with at least 1/2 batter and 1/2 diced apple...part of the flour is replaced with coconut flour and ground flax. Stevia as a sweetener....barely need any...or sweeten with a few currants, raisins, fig pieces. Cinnamon and vailla, of course. I do use an egg, but there are 2 ingredient recipes online for 'vegan eggs', if that's a concern.
Just made these but with sweet potato and I baked them: turned out awesome Of course you have to be prepared for a slightly different outside texture but they will satisfy A donut craving
I am loving this series, just found you. I am self-isolating in France where I live, and having this is making it so much easier. I love the fact you make mistakes. I am baking along with you, every weekend. Thank you for doing this.
I was kinda impressed until they were fried, swapping the flour for something wholewheat or even grain-free would change the texture but make it even healthier. Baking them too of course would've helped!!! There are loads of baked donuts out there, but what impressed me the most was the glaze! Ingenious, totally would try that with agar!!
Hey, I have seen your video and would recommend to use agar-agar instead of gelatine, if you want a more "crisp" like texture and stable glaze (it doesn't need to be refrigerated to stay hard) That's what Krispy Kreme uses in their original glaze.
It gives immense joy just to see you cooking all of your veg recipes from beginning till end and getting successful . It tempts to make it after watching your recipe.
Love the concept... I'm a squash fiend and using the winter the squash more than satisfies the sweet tooth if you're trying to keep added sugar low. The vegetable is so versatile you name it I put it in everything (yogurt, hot cereals, salads, etc.) A good acorn squash can mimic the taste of a krispy kreme doughnut if you pair it right!
I'm not a donut aficionado because they are too sweet, but I loved this recipe for both dough and glaze. I used pumpkin (Long Island Cheese) and needed to drain the purée, and pat dry, as much as possible before mixing. I like the jumbo size too. Great tips and clear explanations!
Amazing episode! I feel that if you were to partner with Trade Coffee again, you should do an entire episode on more creative uses of coffee in recipes!
Yeah, I was anticipating some kind of alternative to deep frying as surely that is a huge contributor to the energy content! Unfortunately it's also a large part of the reason doughnuts taste so good...
I love LOVE your videos! I love the all of the info you share, the techniques, your kitchen, all of it. Can you please teach us how to make vanilla extract?
What the lady from the doughnut shop was hinting at was maybe something as simple as adding salt to the glaze to cut some of the sweetness. My mother was a cake decorator for years, and she would use this trick for her icing, which was basically just powdered sugar, shortening, and extract (vanilla or almond) plus the small bit of salt. Your idea of an alternative for the 90% sugar base was probably a better solution, however.
I love how you just used a normal title, not a clickbait one! I'll probably never gonna bake doughnuts but I like to learn how the cooking steps are. Are you considering to make sweets for your series that include no baking? Like you said in the video, baking is very hard (for me at least) and it's tough to recreate it. But awesome video Mike, as always!
There is a baked tofu doughnut place in Los Angeles that I absolutely LOVE! if you are ever there, check it out! its Ring Baked Tofu Donuts (kinda deep valley so oof)
@@carminedauria-gupta2561 trans and saturated fats are worse than sugar calorie and weight wise. Why not just use cake dough instead? It's the same consistency as doughnouts but it's baked.
Being someone who always tries out new baking recipes at home and attempting to make them a little bit "healthier-ish"- key word attempting, there has been many fails lol- this was so cool to watch! I would love to try this out, but in a smaller batch. Do you have an idea of approximately how many doughnuts you could make from the base doughnut recipe? I was thinking of scaling the recipe to 1/2 :)
Thanks for your recipe! I've been enjoying your video's ...great experimentation!...I have a suggestion you might try...that is to add molasses to both your dough and to your icing ...molasses is loaded with iron...and adds good flavor ..that I think will go with squash,cinnamon and other spices like; allspice and cloves as well as cardamon. Thanks again
Relatable... worked at a cupcake store for a few days & had to quit, because they had me tasting frosting all the time... felt so sick. I hate frosting, never cared for it...
You could've used half coconut half whole grain flour, skimmed/almond milk, light butter, erythritol as a sweetener and air fry them for lower cal as well
Hey just attempted to make these, overall they came out decent but were much denser and not fluffy like yours were. The two deviations from my batch to yours was I used a regular squash since I couldn't find a Kambocha squash, and also I had to add about an extra cup of flour in order for my dough to have the proper consistency like yours did. I also did a 12 hour long fermentation in the fridge. Any idea what I did wrong?
Hi, thanks for the ideas! what I do to make the donuts even healthier: bake them in the oven. you can add some good quality butter over them to make them softer, since the baking process will make them, indeed, a little stiff in the comparison with the classic, fried donut.
Nice thank you! We try to cook sugar reduzed at home and after a while you cant go back to the normal stuff, its just too sweet, too much sugar. Thank you for your effort and that you share it with us.
instead of placing them on baking paper( if you run out or something) place them on a lightly floured towel. You can easily flip them onto your hand and fry without damaging the structure> Oh and glaze with gelatin in it will never get super crispy, gelatin and crispy simply do not match
What i would love to see someone try is to use regular sugar, (and less of it) and cook it like youre makin caramel or brittle of some kind, so when it dries, it makes a semi-glassy texture
I don't know if I'd call this healthy. I mean the squash is healthy, but that's about it.... but there is still a ton of flour, its deep fried in canola oil (which creates a ton of unhealthy compounds like acrylamide and transfats). There is a lot of carbs combined with saturated fats (butter and coconut butter) which is bad metabolic combination. There is relatively less sugar so its not cloyingly sweet, but there is still quite a bit of sugars added. Someone below calculated the calories to be more. There's probably the "danger" of feeling like you have permission to eat this more often or a larger quantity since your brain thinks its "healthy." Its seems like you could eat a side of squash with a regular doughnut, and about the same "health" benefits.
I don't think anyone bites into a donut for the health benefits. You go for a donut as a sweet treat. The innovation here is the glaze being relatively low sugar meaning less of a sugar crash afterwards. This alone makes it a worthwhile thing to try out and make.
@@MonMalthias hahah, 'sugar' crash. there's a wheat crash, too. i'd rather have a little sugar than even a little wheat. what it does to the human body is disgusting.
arthrodea i disagree. he took a treat that is basically a tremendous hit of fried processed flour and cleaned it up. Sure, his donut is not a health food, it isn’t packed with omega-3 fatty acids or high vitamin A content. But You are looking at his donut from the wrong perspective... If I were to estimate, I’d say it has about a 1/3 if the impact a regular donut would have. I’d get sick eating more than 2-3 bites of a real donut, but looking at the ones he made, it seems i’d be able to stomach a full one!
Love this series and the effort! Wonder if this would work dairy-free. And if you could make your own coconut butter by just processing coconut flesh. Thanks!! Looking forward to the next vid
Maaan you did so good, in chile we have these yeast biscuits called sopaipillas, to wich we add squach , very similar to what you just did jajaja it makes te dough so fluffy and soft and adds this natural sweetness, i thougt you were inspired by latin american baking in this one , maybe you should try to do " picarones" , go and reaseach a little about those , great vid!!
That is such a cool concept! 😍 Do you have any experience with agar agar, to make these babies vegetarian? Also, do you think one could replace the starchy squash with potatoes if kabocha was nowhere to be found (ie to make the recipe more accessible)?
Dude. Kuih keria is a doughnut made precisely from just sweet potato and flour... i actually made a couple and they're incredible. That's got to be as healthy as a doughnut could be unless you fortify it with more vitamins. i suggest you try it.
i love this, and i love your channel. this episode was awesome. i haven’t had a donut since Voodoo in Portland over a year ago. It’s a less than once a year experience for me... ice cream’s my main squeeze 🍨 ❤️
I bet with a few modifications you could totally make those donuts keto friendly. replace the sugars with steveia or monk fruit for one. Maybe replace flour with coconut or almond flower...
I think it's a Bosch. My mom has one they are awesome. Way better then the ones everyone else has. If I'm not wrong I think its resturant grade. Quite the investment but if you have the money it's worth it.
Try cutting the butter into the flour before you mix in any other liquids. If you coat the flour with fat, it should help keep too much gluten from forming during the mixing, and the final product will be less chewy.
This looks amazing! Can you possibly venture into Umm-Ali, Luqaimat, Kanafeh, or other Arabic sweets? Another option might be venturing into the world of Indian sweets, such as Kulfi, Ras-Malai, or Peda's? There's such an amazing world of sweets to discover.
well, just saying this is still basically the polar opposite of healthy. Full of processed carbohydrates, low vitamin and mineral content, and transfats and toxic chemicals like hexane from the canola oil.
You could try to complety switch out sugar for Erythritol, its sweet, but not to much, wont give a sugar rush as your body wont absorb any, and it has a nice cooling effect on the tongue addind to the glaze richness.
Awesome recipe. Try sweet potato(Yam) next time! Color and complex carbohydrates are wonderful for you! Also try this for the glaze: Lakanto Monkfruit Powder Sugar Substitute
Well executed and beautifully done although I'm not really sold on the texture of that donut or concept in general but the thought and effort is fantastic and I love your series for it.
I would have loved if you had taken the finished product back to Dough and got the donut pros to try them
I was thinking the same thing!
you read my mind!!

i once made donuts from sweet potatoes.worked out pretty well and tasted good!
What i would love to see someone try is to use regular sugar, (and less of it) and cook it like youre makin caramel or brittle of some kind, so when it dries, it makes a semi-glassy texture
I don't know if I'd call this healthy. I mean the squash is healthy, but that's about it.... but there is still a ton of flour, its deep fried in canola oil (which creates a ton of unhealthy compounds like acrylamide and transfats). There is a lot of carbs combined with saturated fats (butter and coconut butter) which is bad metabolic combination. There is relatively less sugar so its not cloyingly sweet, but there is still quite a bit of sugars added. Someone below calculated the calories to be more. There's probably the "danger" of feeling like you have permission to eat this more often or a larger quantity since your brain thinks its "healthy."
Its seems like you could eat a side of squash with a regular doughnut, and about the same "health" benefits.
I don't think anyone bites into a donut for the health benefits. You go for a donut as a sweet treat.
The innovation here is the glaze being relatively low sugar meaning less of a sugar crash afterwards. This alone makes it a worthwhile thing to try out and make.
@@MonMalthias hahah, 'sugar' crash. there's a wheat crash, too. i'd rather have a little sugar than even a little wheat. what it does to the human body is disgusting.

i disagree.
he took a treat that is basically a tremendous hit of fried processed flour and cleaned it up. Sure, his donut is not a health food, it isn’t packed with omega-3 fatty acids or high vitamin A content. But You are looking at his donut from the wrong perspective... If I were to estimate, I’d say it has about a 1/3 if the impact a regular donut would have. I’d get sick eating more than 2-3 bites of a real donut, but looking at the ones he made, it seems i’d be able to stomach a full one!
There had to be someone 🙄
I love the coconut manna idea for glaze ;) i think imma have to steal that idea!
YES DOUGH!!! I love that you guys moved here and I get to see my fave spots in your videos
Love this series and the effort! Wonder if this would work dairy-free. And if you could make your own coconut butter by just processing coconut flesh. Thanks!! Looking forward to the next vid
Props for the glaze. That was really thinking outside the box.
i wish regular donut places would offer unglazed donuts, i just really like the fluffy dough and fun shape. thanks for the recipe!
Maaan you did so good, in chile we have these yeast biscuits called sopaipillas, to wich we add squach , very similar to what you just did jajaja it makes te dough so fluffy and soft and adds this natural sweetness, i thougt you were inspired by latin american baking in this one , maybe you should try to do " picarones" , go and reaseach a little about those , great vid!!
Can you tell me what make & model your stand mixer is? It’s so interesting compared to others!
That is such a cool concept! 😍 Do you have any experience with agar agar, to make these babies vegetarian? Also, do you think one could replace the starchy squash with potatoes if kabocha was nowhere to be found (ie to make the recipe more accessible)?
Dude. Kuih keria is a doughnut made precisely from just sweet potato and flour... i actually made a couple and they're incredible. That's got to be as healthy as a doughnut could be unless you fortify it with more vitamins. i suggest you try it.
These videos look TOUGH to create...I’m super appreciative of the effort 💪🏽💪🏽 this series is the bomb.
i love this, and i love your channel. this episode was awesome. i haven’t had a donut since Voodoo in Portland over a year ago. It’s a less than once a year experience for me... ice cream’s my main squeeze 🍨 ❤️
What a neat adventure! These look like they turned out amazingly delicious!!!
I bet with a few modifications you could totally make those donuts keto friendly. replace the sugars with steveia or monk fruit for one. Maybe replace flour with coconut or almond flower...
Your food processor looks really interesting. What brand is it?
I think it's a Bosch. My mom has one they are awesome. Way better then the ones everyone else has. If I'm not wrong I think its resturant grade. Quite the investment but if you have the money it's worth it.
Try cutting the butter into the flour before you mix in any other liquids. If you coat the flour with fat, it should help keep too much gluten from forming during the mixing, and the final product will be less chewy.
This looks amazing! Can you possibly venture into Umm-Ali, Luqaimat, Kanafeh, or other Arabic sweets? Another option might be venturing into the world of Indian sweets, such as Kulfi, Ras-Malai, or Peda's? There's such an amazing world of sweets to discover.
I have used chocolate PB2 as a glaze using more water
Been using trade for a while now, it's dope and I love that they sponsored you
I love this Concept of a Healthy Doughnut.
Hardly healthy once it's been deep fried!
@@bobrew461 You could fry it in healthy oils instead of canola.
well, just saying this is still basically the polar opposite of healthy. Full of processed carbohydrates, low vitamin and mineral content, and transfats and toxic chemicals like hexane from the canola oil.
@W Smith Your channel banner is interesting.
@@sadrien
no oil is suitable for deep frying! don't believe the hype about "good" olive oil.
You guys should do a vlogbrothers collab. All the Green Brothers in 1 video
You could try to complety switch out sugar for Erythritol, its sweet, but not to much, wont give a sugar rush as your body wont absorb any, and it has a nice cooling effect on the tongue addind to the glaze richness.
A baked version would be interesting to try.
You can also make donut with tofu, it has a bouncier texture, like a traditional donut mixed with mochi
Awesome recipe. Try sweet potato(Yam) next time! Color and complex carbohydrates are wonderful for you! Also try this for the glaze: Lakanto Monkfruit Powder Sugar Substitute
well done! Wish I could try a bite.
This is astonishing, kudos on this one.
Happy for you that you get placements now so frequently!
Check out Peter Pan's in Brooklyn, that old Classic Donut Shop, is light, and mildly sweet. Sooo good.
Well executed and beautifully done although I'm not really sold on the texture of that donut or concept in general but the thought and effort is fantastic and I love your series for it.
Right when he said he was going to add a vegetable (7:42 ), I thought of something like broccoli lol.
Lmao me too😂😂
Mike, thanks for all you do. I love you and your bro's channel. I was wondering, if a healthier version was the intent, why not bake them?
Did you prefer the slow-fermented dough or the quick-fermented dough? And were you able to taste the apple juice/coffee?
U should try to make swedish pitepalt! It's an tradition in some parts of Sweden and it would be so fun to see what you think of it :)
