Easy Lemon Donuts
The flavors of moist lemon cake are baked into a delicious moist homemade vegan donut. The results are soft, tender, fluffy, and so yummy!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract - optional
- 2 ¼ 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.
Lemon Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon softened vegan butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to mix the melted vegan butter, almond or oat milk, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and baking powder. Option to add lemon extract for a bolder lemon flavor. Then, mix in the lemon juice. Quickly add the flour and mix just until combined. Be careful not to over mix!
- Pour the batter into about 14-16 donut molds and bake for 25 minutes.
- While the donuts are baking, blend together the icing ingredients.
- Once donuts are done, remove them from the donut molds immediately and drizzle them with the icing. Top with lemon juice and enjoy! Store in a tightly sealed container for 1-2 days at room temperature.
