These Vegan Blueberry Donuts are loaded with tangy dried blueberries, and topped with a vibrant blueberry glaze! They’re baked instead than fried, to make a fluffy donut loaded with sweet flavour!
Spring is officially here, so you know what that means… BERRY RECIPES! So, I officially declare we are jumping into blueberry season. Right. Now. We’re celebrating with donuts, Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Jars, and Blueberry Avocado Smoothies!
Ok, I know we’re not quite in peak blueberry season yet, but I just couldn’t help myself. I’m just too excited about these vegan blueberry donuts.
These babies are light, fluffy, loaded with wild blueberries, and topped off with the most beautiful blueberry glaze!
The perfect vegan donut recipe
Ok, so let me start off by saying how easy it is to make baked donuts at home. If you’ve been at all intimidated by making donuts, don’t worry! You don’t need a deep fryer, yeast or any other fancy ingredients to make these vegan blueberry donuts.
The only thing you’ll need to get yourself is a donut pan. I use this pan and it works great!
How to make these easy baked donuts
Let’s quickly walk through the steps on how to easily make these donuts shall we?
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl
- Mix the wet ingredients together in a bowl
- Mix wet and dry ingredients
- Bake for 10 minutes
- Top with glaze
The trick to making perfect vegan donuts is using the right ratio of dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and mixing the batter just the right amount.
Mix everything together until it’s well incorporated and there aren’t any large chunks left, but be careful not to overmix the batter! This will lead to dry and tough donuts. (And we don’t want that!)
Pretty simple, right? And the best part (in my opinion) is that you don’t need to use any mixers for this recipe. All you need is one bowl!

Description
These Vegan Blueberry Donuts are easy to make and bursting with blueberry flavour!
Ingredients
Donuts:
- 2 cups white spelt flour (can sub 1–1 gluten-free flour or white flour)
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 1/3 cups of light coconut milk (can sub almond milk)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup wild blueberries (or regular)
Glaze:
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag, or a large ziplock bag and cut a hole in the corner and pipe the batter into the pan
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- To make the glaze, cook the blueberries in a small pot on medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the blueberry mixture to a bowl of icing sugar along with 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk.

- Once the donuts are cooled, dip them into the glaze. Let sit for 30 minutes until the icing is set.

hi! i am gluten free, but i am not a fan of gluten free flour mixes. so what kind of flour would be the best substitute? maybe oat flour? same amount or more, less? thanks!

Hi Mia, I haven’t tested these out with oat flour so I wouldn’t be able to say how much you’d need, I would assume it should be around the same!
These donuts were amazing, super easy to make a huge hit for everyone (including all the skeptical-about-vegan-food folks). It was a super hot day when I made these so after I dipped them in the icing, it sort of melted into the donut so I would recommend chilling them in the fridge if it’s hot out. And definitely enjoy the day-of. Would recommend this recipe to anyone and everyone!
Thanks Athena! Happy you enjoyed the recipe!
Can the glaze be skipped? Some family members are low-sugar and the glaze contains a lot of sugar.
I plan to make these donuts soon. Thanks.
Hi Lana, absolutely! These are delicious too without the glaze.
Great recipe!! Do you happen to have the sodium count in this donut?
Hi Devin, sorry I don’t for this recipe but the only sodium would really be from the salt and I’d estimate about 500mg of sodium in the entire recipe, or 41g of sodium per donut!
Can you sub out the almond milk for the left over coconut milk from the can to make the icing? Im out of my almond milk for the moment 😉
I LOVE your recipes!!! Thank you!
Hi Courtney, absolutely! You can use any type of plant-based milk you prefer 🙂
These were so good! I didn’t have dried blueberries so I added some regular blueberries in the batter which worked great!
Thanks for the review Ben! So happy you enjoyed the recipe!
These donuts are so delicious (and beautiful)!! I made them yesterday to celebrate the first day of spring and they turn out wonderful! Great recipe for homemade donuts!
Thanks so much Eva!
