Fluffy Vegan Glazed Doughnuts

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
Baking without eggs isn't magic, it's chemistry. Here, we replace the structural and emulsifying role of eggs. Acid (vinegar) reacts with baking soda to create extra gas bubbles, lifting the dough, while plant milk proteins provide the structure. The result is a doughnut that is airy and light without any animal products.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Deep pot for frying
  • Doughnut cutter (or a glass and a bottle cap)
  • Candy thermometer
  • Mixing bowls

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Soy

Instructions

1 ✓

Make 'vegan buttermilk': mix the soy milk with the vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes until it curdles.

Tip: The acidic liquid activates the baking soda and helps tenderize the dough. [Protein curdling]
2 ✓

Whisk together dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda). Pour in the 'buttermilk' and melted coconut oil. Mix just until combined.

Tip: Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears! Overmixing develops gluten, making the doughnuts tough instead of tender. [Glutén development]
3 ✓

On a floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out doughnuts.

Tip: Don't roll too thin, or they will dry out while frying.
4 ✓

Heat oil to 350°F (175-180°C). Fry doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Tip: This is the sweet spot where the center cooks through just as the outside browns. [Heat penetration]
5 ✓

Drain on paper towels, then dip in melted vegan chocolate.

Tip: Melt the chocolate over steam or in the microwave; thin with a little coconut oil if needed.

Recipe FAQ

Why are they greasy?
The oil temperature was too low. Proper heat creates steam that pushes oil out.
Why are they flat?
The dough sat too long before frying, or the baking powder was old. The chemical reaction happens instantly, so fry them quickly!
