The doughnuts have a fluffy moist outer and are finished with a dusting of sugar.

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 from scratch each day by its craft skilled bakers in Morrisons stores.

They are filled and sugared by hand.

Bakery buyer at Morrisons¸ Andy Clarke 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 Morrisons Gingerbread Doughnuts come in packs of five and cost 50p.

Morrisons have a host of vegan-friendly products launching in the run up to Christmas this year.

Highlights include The Best Tempura No-Prawns and No-Duck Spring Rolls, The Best Beefless Wellington, and The Best Vegan Trifle.
