- ½ cup melted vegan butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup brown sugar or purecane brown sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour (King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour recommended)
For The Maple Donut Toppings
- For Maple Glaze Frosting Option: 2 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoon almond milk, 2 tablespoon melted vegan butter, ½ cup powdered sugar or purecane confectioners sugar substitute
- For Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting Option: 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar or purecane confectioners sugar substitute, 4 oz vegan cream cheese, 6 tablespoon softened vegan butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- For Toasted Maple Pecans Topping: Coconut oil spray or vegan butter, 2 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ cup chopped pecans
How to Make Vegan Maple Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond milk, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, brown sugar (or substitute), vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour and mix until a thick batter forms.
- Spoon the batter into 18 silicone donut molds coated with nonstick spray, taking care not to overfill. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the donuts have risen.
- While the donuts bake, whisk together the maple glaze ingredients or use an electric hand mixer to blend the vegan cinnamon cream cheese glaze ingredients. You can microwave the cinnamon cream cheese glaze for about 20 seconds to make dipping the donuts easier. After baking, remove the donuts from the molds and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. Dip each donut into the maple glaze before serving.
- For the Maple Pecans, grease a small skillet with coconut oil spray or vegan butter and heat it over medium heat. Add the pecans and maple syrup, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the syrup bubbles and the pecans brown. Let the pecans cool before sprinkling them on top of the vegan maple donuts.

I like to microwave my cinnamon cream cheese glaze for about 20 seconds to make the donuts easier to dip in! Once the donuts are done baking, remove them from the molds and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. Dip each donut into the maple glaze before serving.
