Ingredients

Vanilla Donuts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder or cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
  • colorful sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Fold together with a spatula until just combined. Alternatively, add the wet ingredients to a medium bowl, and then add to the dry ingredients.
  • If using a mold, place the mold on a baking sheet for easy transfer in and out of the oven. Using a spoon, fill each donut hole about ¾ of the way full. The batter will be very runny. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 F or until the donuts set and are golden brown. Immediately pop the donuts out of the silicone baking mold and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the donuts are cooling make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth. For a thicker glaze add less almond milk, for a thinner glaze add an additional tablespoon of almond milk. 
  • Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip them into the chocolate glaze, and allow them to set on the wire rack with a piece of parchment paper underneath to catch the chocolate glaze drippings. Optional: Top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips for Making Eggless Donuts
  • The batter is very runny. That is normal.
  • For a less sweet flavor use ⅓ cup of sugar instead of ½ a cup. I think less sugar still gives these a nice flavor.
  • Use a silicone donut mold for ease of use.
  • This recipe makes 6 small donuts.
  • You can easily double the recipe to make a dozen donuts.
  • Place the silicone mold on a baking sheet to make retrieving them in and out of the oven easier.
  • Make sure to pop the donuts out of the mold immediately. They come out more easily when they are warm.
  • Be careful when you pop them out so that they don't break.
  • Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freezer for 2-3 months.
