Ingredients
  

Burger

Donut

  • 1 package of vegan biscuit dough**~
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon non-dairy milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • On a non stick surface (I used greased parchment), lay out your raw biscuits. If you wish to cut a donut hole in the center, use a greased smaller glass to cut it out. However, I find that the donut buns hold together better without a donut hole.
  • Heat about an inch deep of oil in a skillet over medium to medium high heat. You can test to see if the oil is hot enough by dipping a chopstick or wooden spoon in and watching for steady bubbles upon contact. Once the oil is hot, drop the biscuits in and fry them for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Remove and place each donut on a paper-towel lined surface, or a drying rack with paper towels underneath.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar and non-dairy milk in a small bowl to make the glaze. Once the donuts are cool to touch, dip each one in the glaze, carefully coating the entire surface. Place on a drying rack.
  • Heat the vegan butter over medium high heat in a skillet, and fry the bacon slices until crispy on both sides, usually a couple mins for each side. Set aside on a paper-towel lined surface.
  • Cook plant-based burger patties for 3 mins on each side over medium high heat, or until browned. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on the burgers and cover with a lid so they melt.
  • If you wish to use donut halves as buns, cut the donuts in half and toast them in the skillet. Otherwise, just use whole donuts as buns.
  • Assemble your burgers! Place a cheeseburger topped with two bacon slices in between your donut buns. Enjoy!

Notes

*I used the Beyond burger
**I used Parmela Creamery's "aged cheddar," or try making my chipotle queso or sweet potato cheese sauce!
*~I used Lightlife Smart Bacon, or make my tempeh bacon!
**~Many are "accidentally vegan," just check the ingredients!
