Vegan Donuts

July 11, 2020 By Gretchen 3 Comments

Assorted Vegan Cake Style Donuts

This recipe for Vegan Donuts is ready in less than 20 minutes!

No joke!

All you need is a donut pan and a bowl to whisk everything up in!

No mixers required for this recipe!

I have always loved cake style donuts more than a fried yeast donut, but if you prefer the fried donuts variety I have recipes for Boston Creme and Cookies & Cream stuffed!

Complete with homemade Vegan Sprinkles for a festive and fun little treat!

    These look amazing! But the chocolate lover in me can’t help but wonder if this recipe can be tweaked to make a chocolate donut? Thanks for all you do!

    These are divine. Would the batter hold up to being fried?

      I have not tried the air fryer for this style donut, but I have for my yeast raised Boston Cream with great results! I think it’s worth a test!
