Vegan Baked Donuts with a Rosewater Glaze are super easy to make and a healthier alternative to fried Donuts!

Donuts are great, but I'm not too fond of the whole frying process and having so much leftover oil, that's why baked donuts are for me such a great alternative!

For the majority of baked donut recipes you'll have to have a donut pan, but not in this one. The dough is firm enough to cut out the donut shapes with two glasses or with a glass and an apple corer (like I did).

I colored the glaze with a little bit of red beet juice and added some rosewater for the taste. Not to forget about the pistachios on top :)

I had such a great time making these donuts, glazing and coating them and adding sprinkles (of course!). So I hope you will enjoy these as much as I did! Let me know if you give them a try!

    I am going to try this glaze on the Rosewater cookies you have. I think they would make a great pair! Can't wait to try them.

    May I sub the flour to gluten free flour because I’m allergic to gluten. Thank you.

      Hi Sara, unfortunately, I haven't tried these with gf flour, so I have no idea if it will work!
