Best Vegan Donut Recipe Ever
A delicious easy to make vegan baked donut recipe. These bright pink vegan donuts are sure to please all who bite into their fluffy sweet rings.

Donuts or doughnuts either way we spell it, these vegan baked donuts taste absolutely delicious. They are so quick and easy to make, you’ll never have to buy store bought ones again. In addition this recipe requires no yeast, no egg and no fuss. Just really simple ingredients that most people already have in their cupboards at home.

I was so happy to be baking donuts in my new donut tin. I started testing out vegan donut recipes as soon as my tin arrived. After lots of testing and probably eating my own weight in donuts, I finally found the best vegan donut recipe. I was so happy that everyone loved these gorgeous donuts as much as me. So I had to share the recipe. After all sharing is caring. Many newcomers to veganism ask are donuts vegan? The short answer is generally no but you can use alternative vegan ingredients like in this recipe to make your own.
Recipe updated in 2023, please follow the instructions and ingredients from recipe below and not from the video, thanks.
Where To Buy Vegan Donuts
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in the UK are now offering for delivery Original Glazed vegan donuts, unfortunately even if your lucky enough to live near a Krispy Kreme store like most people living in places like London and Vegas you can only get the vegan Krispy Kreme’s by delivery. Unlucky for me there’s no places that sell vegan donuts near me. Another option of course is Greggs in the UK as they have brought out their vegan Glazed Ring Doughnuts and they have a lot of stores.
A big donut brand in the US is of course Dunkin Donuts and although they have vegan items on there menu such as hash browns, bagels and muffins. They don’t yet offer vegan donuts, so the vegan community will have to put pressure on Dunkin donuts to meet their donut needs.
Best Vegan Donut Recipe Ever
Ingredients
For the donuts
- 180 g Flour
- 65 g Caster sugar
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- 60 milliliters Oil for this recipe I used sunflower oil
- 190 milliliters Unsweetened soya milk but you can use which ever milk you prefer
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp Apple cider vinegar
For the Icing
- 190 g Icing sugar
- 2-4 tbsp Milk I used unsweetened soya milk
- A few drops Pink food coloring
- A few drops Strawberry flavoring
- 35 g Sprinkles of your choice I used unicorn confetti and colored strands
Instructions
To make the donuts
- First things first preheat your oven to 190°C/ 375°F
- Add the milk and apple cider vinegar into a bowl, and leave it for 10 minutes to let the milk curdle.1.5 tsp Apple cider vinegar, 190 milliliters Unsweetened soya milk
- Put all the other ingredients into the bowl. And add your curdled milk.180 g Flour, 65 g Caster sugar, ½ tsp Baking powder, 60 milliliters Oil, ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- Simply whisk the ingredients together for about a minute or until the mixture has a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Pour the vegan donut mixture from the bowl into a measuring jug.
- Grease the donut tin (for this you can use spray oil or vegan butter).
- Then simply pour the vegan donut mixture into the donut rings on the tin (try not to get any of the mixture on the centers, as we want our donuts to have empty middles).
- Then simply pop your donuts into your preheated oven for 12 minutes (with different ovens times can vary).
- Once cooked leave the donuts in the donut tin for a minute to cool slightly (waiting makes it easier to get your delicious donuts out of the tin).
- Next place the vegan donuts onto a wire rack to cool.
- While the donuts are cooling grab your ingredients to make the beautiful icing to go on top of your vegan baked donuts.
To make the Icing
- Again this is super easy to make, simply add the ingredients into a Pyrex bowl and stir together until it's smooth and runny, with a very sticky texture. (always use a glass bowl when using food coloring as it may stain your best china)190 g Icing sugar, A few drops Pink food coloring, A few drops Strawberry flavoring, 2-4 tbsp Milk
- Dip and swirl the top of your donuts into the beautiful pink icing then place onto a wire rack
- Then last but not least sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles or edible confetti.35 g Sprinkles of your choice
