Who doesn’t love a good donut?!
Get festive with these super easy, vegan reindeer donuts. Perfectly sweet and lightly spiced with cinnamon, these donuts are the perfect way to get Christmassy. They are really soft and fluffy and take just 5 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to bake. You can decorate them as you wish – get creative!
This baked variety is just as satisfying as the traditional fried version, but SO much healthier. I dipped mine in chocolate and peanut butter, but I can imagine these would also be delicious rolled in cinnamon sugar (churro-style).
These Vegan Baked Donuts are:
- Egg-free
- Dairy-free
- A healthier option – they are baked not fried!
- Soft and fluffy
- Completely delicious!
The best part about these baked vegan donuts is that the recipe is sooo simple! You probably have all of the ingredients needed to make them in your cupboard right now!

To decorate
- Melt the peanut butter and chocolate in two separate small dishes. Dip three of the donuts in the peanut butter and the remaining three in the chocolate.
