Lemon Donuts Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Hand mix the lemon juice, melted vegan butter, oat or almond milk, sugar, stevia (if using), baking soda, and baking powder. The batter will begin to fizz. This is ok. Option to add 1 teaspoon lemon extract for a bolder lemon flavor. Add the flour and mix just until combined. Be careful not to over mix!
  • Pour the batter into 18 greased silicone donut molds - be careful not to overfill the molds. Bake for 25 minutes or until they are golden and fluffy.
  • While the donuts are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients.
  • Once donuts are done, remove them from the donut molds. Let them cool and then spoon or drizzle the glaze over the donuts.
