“Customers tell us our filled doughnuts are the best ‘accidentally vegan’ doughnuts they’ve found – so we’ve made sure that this recipe was no exception.”

Morrisons has launched a new limited-edition vegan Gingerbread Doughnut for the festive season.

The new recipe is a vegan version of the value supermarket’s famous gingerbread men and its renowned filled doughnuts.

The doughnuts have a fluffy moist outer sprinkled with a dusting of sugar. They contain a rich and comforting ginger cream custard – made from an intense blend of spices, cinnamon, nutmeg and star anise.

The vegan gingerbread Christmas doughnuts will be prepared fresh and from scratch daily by Morrisons craft skilled bakers. They are filled and sugared by hand. 

The doughnuts come in packs of five and cost just 50p. They are now available in 400 Morrisons stores across the UK

Best ‘accidentally vegan’ doughnuts

Andy Clarke, Bakery Buyer at Morrisons said: “We’d seen gingerbread lattes going down a storm – and had an idea to mash up our famous gingerbread men with our filled doughnuts. Customers tell us our filled doughnuts are the best ‘accidentally vegan’ doughnuts they’ve found – so we’ve made sure that this recipe was no exception.”

Morrisons’ vegan range

Morrisons has also unveiled a whole host of vegan-friendly items in the run up to Christmas this year, including, Tempura No-Prawns and No-Duck Spring Rolls. This selection features meat-free prawns and duck rolls made from jackfruit in tempura batter.
