Nothing says ‘Christmas’ quite like gingerbread. Whether consumed in house form or shaped into gingerbread people, the warming spices of ginger and cinnamon are synonymous with Christmas.
This year, as a variation of its gingerbread offerings, Morrisons supermarket has launched vegan gingerbread doughnuts.

A festive take on its classic filled doughnuts, the limited edition Gingerbread Doughnut is available from today (November 19).
The doughnuts are made up of a fluffy dough and finished with a dusting of sugar. Inside, they are filled with a rich and comforting ginger cream custard - made from an intense blend of spices, cinnamon, nutmeg and star anise.

Each doughnut is made each day in Morrisons’ in-store bakeries.
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.”
