Description
A recipe for baked vegan donuts flavored with lemon and poppy seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened plant milk
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.
- In a separate bowl, mix the plant milk, melted vegan butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze and return them to the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, use less lemon juice.
- You can use any plain, unsweetened plant milk like soy or almond.
- Ensure your lemon zest is finely grated.
