Vegan Soft and Fluffy Baked Lemon Blueberry Donuts [GF]
Super soft and fluffy baked vegan donuts! Gluten-free and made with NO refined sugar or flour!
Equipment
- 2 (3-inch) Donut Pans
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour about 2 & 1/4 cups rolled oats in the blender to make a soft flour
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tsp mineral salt
- 2 tsp baking power
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh blueberries I don't use frozen because it can cause the coconut oil to solidify
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plant based milk make sure your milk is room temp/slightly warmed and NOT cold!
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and add a little coconut oil to your donut pants.
- Cut up blueberries into small pieces and set aside.
- Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl (minus the blueberries) and stir well.
- Add all wet ingredients to a bowl and whisk well.
- Slowly add your wet ingredients to your dry, mixing well but don't overmix.
- Add blueberries and mix again.
- Add batter to your mini donut pans ASAP, filling each donut cavity 3/4 way full.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are firm and a toothpick comes out clean. If you are using different size donut pans (mine make 3 inch donuts), your baking time will be longer or shorter!
- Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Eat immediately as is or top with glaze!
Notes
- This recipe is for donuts that are 3 inches. If you are using regular donut pans or smaller donut pans, you will have to adjust the baking time so keep a close eye on them.
- Make sure to do all your prep work before your batter is ready as these need to go in the oven as soon as the wet and dry ingredients are mixed.
- You need your nut milk to be at room temperature or else your coconut oil will solidify in the batter.
- If the coconut oil solidifies, it won't be evenly distributed. I just put mine in the microwave for about 15 seconds or so until slightly warmed.
- To be certain your coconut oil doesn't solidify, mix your milk and oil first and you can always put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds if it starts to solidify
