Vegan Donuts – Simple Vegan Blog

Vegan donuts, fluffy, sweet, baked, and super easy to prepare! They are the perfect snack or breakfast, and they require less than 30 minutes.

These vegan donuts are the best donut recipe I’ve ever made! They truly are out of this world, as well as delicious, fluffy, and sweet, but the best part is that they are super easy to prepare!

As they are made with simple pantry ingredients, you most likely already have them at home. However, everything I used to make this amazing snack is affordable and easy to find at any grocery store.

Besides, these kinds of foods are always packed with lots of artificial additives and preservatives, but this homemade recipe is way healthier than the ones you can find at the supermarket.

Vegan donuts, sweet, mouthwatering, and super easy to prepare! To make them you only need 9 ingredients (the topping is optional) and less than 30 minutes of your time. I hope you love them!

How to make vegan donuts – Step by step

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF or 180ºC and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray or grease it with some oil. Set aside.
• Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl (photo 1).
• Add all the remaining ingredients (photo 2) and stir until well combined (photo 3).
• Fill each pan cavity approximately 3/4 full (photo 4).
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (photo 5).
• Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the donut pan. Then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
• The topping is optional but so delicious and easy to make! To make the cinnamon sugar just mix the sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined (photo 6).
• Then use a brush to brush the melted vegan butter onto the top of a donut (photo 7) and immediately dip it into the bowl of cinnamon sugar (photo 8).
• Serve immediately.

Pro tips

• You can use any other kind of flour, but you may need to add more or less of it.
• If you want gluten-free donuts, I’d use oat flour and buckwheat or rice flour (half and half). Add more or less quantity if needed.
• Soy milk can be replaced with any other kind of plant milk, such as almond milk or oat milk.
• Feel free to use any kind of sugar, although I’ve never tried this recipe with liquid sweetener.
• Vegan butter can be replaced with oil (coconut oil is my favorite choice).
• Be careful not to overfill, as the donuts will rise and you might lose the hole of your donuts.
• Although vanilla extract is optional, I suggest you use it because it will give your vegan donuts a wonderful flavor!
• Feel free to add your favorite spices, like pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or even cocoa powder.

Are donuts vegan?

They can be! Although regular donuts are not vegan, as they contain dairy, butter, and eggs, this recipe is 100% plant-based. I used plant milk instead of cow’s milk and substituted the other non-vegan ingredients with vegan options.

However, these vegan donuts are equally or even more delicious than the other ones!

How long will these vegan donuts keep?

If you store them properly, they will keep for up to 1 week. To do it, just put them in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature.

How to serve vegan donuts

I usually take my vegan donuts and eat them on the go, but when I stay at home I love to enjoy them with a glass of rice milk, coconut milk, or any other kind of plant milk.
