These vegan chocolate donuts are the perfect treat for summer! They’re super chocolatey with a creamy strawberry frosting topped with coconut flakes. Big YUM! Plus, they’re baked donuts, which makes them a lot healthier than regular fried donuts.

How to make vegan donuts

Vegan recipes for donuts don’t have to be complicated. On the contrary, they can be super easy! Just like the recipe for these vegan chocolate donuts with strawberries. You don’t need any fancy ingredients to make them. Instead of eggs, the recipe calls for flax eggs. This means ground flaxseeds that are soaked in a couple of tablespoons of water for about 5 minutes. They get a very egg-like texture and work similar to eggs in baked goods. They’re my favorite egg replacement besides mashed bananas and apple sauce. Substituting milk is even easier. Just use plant-based milk instead. I usually use almond milk for baking, but other plant-based milk alternatives work just as well.

Vegan Chocolate Donuts with Strawberries

The recipe for the vegan chocolate donuts only calls for very basic ingredients. Probably you already got most of them in your pantry. If not even all of them, except for the strawberries.

You’ll need:

flour

almond milk

maple syrup or agave

natural vanilla extract

cocoa powder

baking powder

vegan butter or margarine

strawberry preserve

powdered sugar

oil (just one tablespoon though)

and fresh strawberries

That’s it! Sounds pretty easy, right? If you want, you can top the vegan strawberry donuts with coconut flakes and chopped dark chocolate. I mean one can never get enough of chocolate! Haha! As always, you can find the full recipe in a separate, printable recipe box underneath the text section.

Call me weird, but I really don’t like fried donuts very much. I’ve never liked them, even when I wasn’t vegan. Just not my thing. But I do love baked donuts. I got a donut baking pan a couple of years ago and I absolutely love making donuts ever since!

I hope you like these vegan chocolate donuts with strawberry frosting as much as I do. Let me know if you give them a try. I always love seeing your Vegan Heaven creations on Instagram.

Have a lovely week, everyone!
