Vegan Baked Doughnuts
A double whammy of a recipe, with just two little tweaks you've got ring doughnuts or jam filled round doughnuts - simple! This recipe is also gluten free, dairy free, egg free and vegan too, so everybody can enjoy doughnuts ... or donuts!
Servings: 4 large doughnuts
Calories: 87kcal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g gluten free plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp psyllium husk powder (optional) you can use xanthan gum instead
- 50 g caster sugar
- 100 g dairy free yogurt I used Alpro Soya yogurt
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the glaze topping:
- 25 g dairy free 'milk' chocolate melted
- 4 tbsp icing/confectioners sugar
- 1 tbsp dairy free milk I used soya milk
For the jammy doughnut:
- 3 tbsp jam
- 1 tsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C | 160°C Fan | 350°F | Gas 4.
- I like the one bowl no faffing method so simply pop all your ingredients into the mixing bowl and combine until to achieve a smooth batter.
- Getting the mixture into the moulds can be a bit fiddly so to make things simple why not put the mixture into a piping bag, this is especially easier if you're making the ring doughnut version.
- Fill each mould 3/4 full.
- Pop into the oven for 15 minutes (only 10 mins if using smaller moulds).
- Once baked (the doughnut will have a light spring to the touch when ready) remove and cool in mould for 5mins before turning out onto cooling rack.
- When completely cool make your glaze and leave to set
To make jam filled doughnuts
- If making jam doughnuts make a hole in the side of the doughnut (I use a skewer and wiggle it about a bit) then using a piping bag with a thin round nozzle, pipe the jam into the doughnut - bit fiddly this, but have patience!
- Now you can decorate your doughnuts as you see fit, glazed, dusted in icing sugar or caster sugar.
Notes
The images in this post are both kinds of doughnut, using 2x the mixture, this recipe defaults to a 4 doughnut recipe.
