- ½ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

Instructions
Vegan Red Velvet Donuts with Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat the oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond milk, melted vegan butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda together. Then, add the flour and mix just until a batter forms. Add the red food coloring and mix. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into 14 greased silicon donut molds. Don't over-fill your molds. Bake for about 30 minutes.
- While the donuts are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vegan cream cheese together. Allow the donuts to cool and then frost them. Enjoy!

Hi there! We plan to make the Red Velvet into Cup Cakes. I am not Vegan but making it for those who are GF DF Vegan. Can you please share the Vegan Butter and Cream cheese you prefer to use.
I made your pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips last week. Wow they were amazing. First time using the King Arthur measure for measure flour. Baking changer for sure! Thank you

Hi Melinda, thank you for your comment! I can't wait to hear how you like the red velvet cupcakes! The vegan butters I love are Miyokos, Country Crock Plant Butter, and Earth Balance. My preferred vegan cream cheese is Miyokos or Kite Hill! Hope this helps! Glad you liked the pumpkin muffins!

I made these for my 10 year old grandson. He loves red velvet doughnuts and we couldn’t find any where we live.
He loved them. He and his three brother and sisters and my son are not vegan. My husband and I are.
They ate them all and had no idea they were vegan. They were delicious and my son who doesn’t want to eat
anything vegan was none the wiser! Also, they were super easy to make. Thank you for the recipe?
