Baked Vegan Donut Recipe (Gluten Free)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray a donut pan with cooking oil, and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (almond flour, oat flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar).*

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (non-dairy milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract). Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes at room temperature (to create a vegan “buttermilk”).

Step 4

Working in 2 batches, gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine, being careful not to over mix.For fluffier donuts, let the batter sit for 10 minutes before pipping.

Step 5

Place the batter in a piping bag or ziplock bag with one corner cut off, and pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling the molds about 3/4 of the way full.*

Step 6

Bake for 14-15 minutes or until the donut edges are lightly golden brown.

Step 7

Once fully baked, remove the donuts from the oven, and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the donuts cool, prepare the toppings by whisking the ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 9

Dip the donuts in the frosting, and add toppings of choice.
