Recipe:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together donut ingredients.

3. Evenly distribute batter into your lightly coconut-oil-greased donut pan. If you don't have a donut pan, roll up some foil & shape the donuts around them in a muffin tin.

4. Bake for 15 minutes. 
5. Meanwhile, make the icing. Melt vegan butter or coconut oil with peanut butter on stovetop over medium heat. Then add in almond milk, cocoa powder & sugar. To give it its red color add in a little beetroot powder, beet juice, or cranberry juice.
6. Then frost your donuts and top them all off with Square chunks.
