You know how much I love vegan donuts, right?

I mean, it just doesn’t get much better than a warm soft pastry with a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth glaze. And, for all you fellow donut lovers out there, the good news is that vegan donuts are not hard to make! We already know that replacing eggs is no problem so it’s just a matter of having the right equipment and some awesome recipes.

What you need to make homemade donuts:

Most importantly, a donut pan. This is the one I use.

Doughnut Pans

I love my donut pan because, despite using it ALL THE TIME, my pans are as good as new. And better yet, they are totally affordable! Just $13.50 for 2 on Amazon. With a donuts pan you can make all the baked donuts you want this fall.

It’s also nice to have is a good piping bag. When baking donuts (rather than frying) the batter is soft like cake and will need to be piped in the donut pans. You can get reusable piping bags or one-use plastic bags. Either way, they are super cheap and nice to have on hand.

Now that you’re all set with your equipment, let’s take a look at the recipes below.

11 incredible vegan donut recipes.
