Baked Donuts with Rosewater Glaze

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 :)
