Ingredients
1 cup oat flour (125 g)
½ cup almond flour (65 g)
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup granulated sweetener (65 g), of choice
¼ cup brewed espresso (60 mL)
¼ cup almond milk (60 mL)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Extra toppings (dark chocolate, vegan vanilla yogurt, date syrup, sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a non-stick donut pan or use a silicone donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brewed espresso, almond milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until fully combined, forming a smooth batter.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag, or use a large zip lock bag with the tip of the corner cut off to pipe the batter into the donut pan. Fill each mold evenly.
- Bake the donuts at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the donuts from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the donuts are completely cool, decorate them with your choice of glaze or toppings. You can drizzle with dark chocolate, date syrup, or top with vegan vanilla yogurt, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Vegan Espresso Donuts!
Notes
- Flavor variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a spiced twist. You can also use flavored coffee or syrup for different variations.
- For toppings, consider using a glaze made of powdered sugar and almond milk or a vegan chocolate ganache.
- For a more natural sweetener, you can replace the granulated sweetener with coconut sugar, stevia, or maple sugar.
