Easy Vegan Coffee Cake Donuts Recipe



Ingredients

Donuts:
Dry Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup dairy free milk, unsweetened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 flax egg (1 tbs ground flax + 3 tbs warm water)
• 4 tsp coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 tbs coconut oil, melted
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Glaze:

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp dairy free milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F
2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbs ground flax with 3 tbs warm water. Set aside to thicken
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, melted coconut oil, flax egg, and vanilla extract
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until combined
6. Pour batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag with a corner cut off, and pipe into a greased donut pan
7. Don’t over fill the wells, pipe around one circle in each well (about 1/2 full)
8. Prepare the streusel topping by mixing all dry ingredients together, then adding in melted coconut oil. Stir well until you have a course wet mixture
9. Sprinkle the topping over the donut batter, and slightly press the topping in to the batter (be generous, you shouldn't be seeing any donut underneath all that topping!)
10. Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the donuts comes out clean and the donuts spring back when touched - 15 minutes was perfect for me
11. Allow donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and continue to cool on a cooling rack
12. Combine all ingredients for the glaze in a bowl and stir until fully combined. You may need to add a bit more milk if too thick, or some more icing sugar if too thin
13. Drizzle glaze over fully cooled donuts
14. Allow glaze to set before stacking donuts on top of each other or transporting
15. Enjoy!
