Description
Sweet and fluffy vegan baked donuts for a healthier option than fried. No yeast, rising or electric mixer needed, these are super easy to make!
Ingredients
For the Baked Donuts
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour (300 g)
- ⅔ cup sugar (132 g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (60 mL)
- 1 ¼ cup unsweetened oat milk (295 mL)
- ¼ cup grape seed oil (60 mL)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze
- 2 cups organic powdered sugar, sifted (240 g)
- ¼ cup oat milk (60 mL)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir to combine, making sure to break up any clumps of flour and fully incorporate salt and baking powder.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl combine the oat milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and oil to a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Fold together just until all the flour has been wetted.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a donut pan with light coating of non-stick cooking spray or use a silicone donut pan.
- Pipe Batter: Add the donut batter to a piping bag or Ziplock bag. Cut a small amount off one corner of the zip bag or snip a small piece of the piping bag. Pipe the donut batter into the donut pan, filling each donut about 3/4 of the way full making sure not to cover the hole. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can spoon the batter into the pan.
- Bake: Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown, then allow the donuts to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove the donuts and transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Mix the Glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, oat milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix together until completely smooth. Note: It’s not required to sift the powdered sugar but it can have little clumps in it that are difficult to break up and get a smooth consistency. Consider sifting it through a sifter of fine mesh sieve for a smooth glaze.
- Glaze Donuts: Once the donuts have cooled, dip each donut into the icing and place them back on the cooling rack. You can add sprinkles to the top of the icing. Allow them to cool until the glaze sets.
Notes
You can substitute grape seed oil for another oil you have on hand but I do suggest something with a light flavour like grape seed, avocado or canola oil. You can use olive oil but it will contribute to the flavour of the donuts.
