Vegan Pumpkin Donuts
When it comes to pumpkin-flavored donuts, these are the best. Vegan Pumpkin Donuts are covered in a Maple Icing and only take 25 minutes to make!
Fall is a magical time of year. The leaves are changing, the air is cooler and it’s all about comfort food. Well, these Vegan Pumpkin Donuts are just what you need to embrace the cozy season. These donuts are baked, not fried, and they take just 25 minutes to make.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a fried and yeasted donut, but my stomach doesn’t. I don’t eat a lot of fried food as it is, so it’s a bit of a shock to my already sensitive stomach. These donuts are baked, meaning they are a bit less heavy than your typical fried donut, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t tasty! In fact, they are packed with pumpkin flavor, moist, and so soft.
To make Vegan Pumpkin Donuts, simply whisk all the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix it all together. Pipe or pour the batter into a donut pan and bake. While they’re baking, make the Maple Icing by whisking all the ingredients together. Once the donuts have cooled off a little, dip the donuts one by one into the icing. As a finishing touch, sprinkle the donuts with a little pumpkin pie spice. Voila!
I like to make mini donuts (I think everything miniature is just cuter) but they can be baked in any size. I use this non-stick mini donut pan from Wilton, and I also use their non-stick regular size donut pan. Wilton donut pans are truly non-stick. Plus, they can be put in the dishwasher (oh yeah!).
My family and friends absolutely love these donuts and look forward to them every fall. They’re simple, easy to make, and absolutely delicious!
I have also baked these donuts into Vegan Pumpkin Donut Holes! Be sure to check out that recipe, as well as my Vegan Chai Donut recipe.

Hi! If using a regular size donut pan, how long do you bake for and how many will be made?
THANKS!!
Hello! You should bake for the same amount of time, 15 minutes. To check if they are done, lightly press the surface. If it springs back, they are ready. The recipe makes about 24 mini donuts and about 12 regular size. Enjoy! 🙂
