Bradford-based Morrisons launches 10p vegan Christmas doughnuts

The limited edition Christmas Gingerbread Doughnut come in packs of five, costing 50p.

A spokesman said: "Morrisons doughnuts are famous for being accidentally vegan and this festive offering is no exception.

"They have a fluffy moist outer and are finished with a dusting of sugar."

The recipe has been created so they are suitable for vegans and those on dairy-free diets.

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.”

The doughut is available from 400 Morrisons stores nationwide.
