Do you miss donuts while living a vegan lifestyle? These baked chocolate donuts are generously glazed with rich chocolate ganache and are perfect for any chocolate lover.
Why Make Vegan Chocolate Donuts?
There are many reasons to make these baked vegan chocolate donuts, but most importantly, they are incredibly delicious. Other reasons include:
- They’re vegan, and you want a delicious plant-based dessert option.
- Baking donuts is healthier than frying them, so that you can enjoy a sweet treat without all the extra fat and calories.
- The texture of the donuts is like cake, a good moist cake.
- Baking donuts can be a fun and creative activity in the kitchen with your family.
- Making baked vegan chocolate donuts at home can be cheaper than buying them from a bakery or store.
- And this vegan baked donut recipe has a ganache-type glaze, which is outstanding.
Ingredients for the Vegan Chocolate Doughnuts?
- Flour. I start with all-purpose flour, but feel free to use your favorite one. You can use gluten-free flour as long it is 1:1.
- Cocoa powder. Add cocoa to give your dough a chocolate taste; I like to use dark cocoa.
- Baking Powder. Use baking powder to ensure that your doughnuts bake to perfection for you.
- Maple Syrup. Give your doughnuts a sweeter taste using maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
- Plant-based milk. Use dairy-free milk, like soy milk or almond milk, in your recipe to create your donut batter.

How to make vegan donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- First, gather all the dry ingredients and place them in a large mixing bowl to make the perfect mixture. Whisk the ingredients so everything gets integrated. Then, slowly pour the wet ingredients to create a smooth and well-blended mixture.
- Spoon the batter into a doughnut pan; if you are not using a nonstick pan, make sure you grease it first.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
How to make the Chocolate ganache?
Add coconut milk and chocolate in a small saucepan, and mix well. Add the vanilla and maple syrup, and stir over low heat until you can see the bottom of the pot. Glaze the doughnuts while the glaze is hot-warm.

Wait until the donuts are completely cool. Dip the doughnuts into the ganache or pour the vegan chocolate ganache over the donuts on a cooling rack. Let the chocolate cool so it can set
