Voodoo Doughnut, Seattle - Vegan Options

This was not our first visit to Voodoo Donuts but it was my first as a vegan! We had lined up on occasion, in the distant past, in Portland, eager to keep Portland weird but less eager (at the time) to exercise compassion towards all living beings.
My insanely early morning walks led me past a rare no-lineup Voodoo Donut which had opened a mere 3 weeks ago (which explained the huge line when we walked past last evening after dinner and Cinnaholic) at the corner of Pine Street and Minor Avenue. So I decided to bring some donuts home to my sleeping wife.
You just know that an Apple Fritter was on my list. This was a pretty good fritter but how could it not be? Just in case you didn't already know, Voodoo is not plant-based but has quite a number of vegan options. It makes me wonder why they don't go fully vegan...would that be much simpler?
We bought 3 other doughnuts and ended up taking them home to munch on over the course of the next couple of days. This one looks like a maple-flavoured donut which is why I pointed at it. A closer look reveals the crushed peanut topping and sure enough, it is not maple but peanut butter icing. It was a tiny bit dry as pb tends to be. In this photo, it's a little worse for wear thanks to transport. Still a tasty thing.
I think that this donut is actually called Dirt. Doesn't sound too appetizing but Voodoo has a few weirdly named donuts that are never the less delicious. Dirt is chocolate so don't avoid it in this case.
I guess this is supposed to be scary. Sort of a stake through the heart donut. It was just a tasty long John (at least we used to call them that). Everyone likes Voodoo Doughnuts but not everyone knows that they have vegan options.
Now you know.
