Strawberries and donuts, two of my favorite things! I combined them to make these amazingly awesome Baked Vegan Strawberry Donuts and I am not sorry I did!!! Donuts are actually quite easy to make when you get the hang of it! You have come to the right place to find out how!
Tara’s Tips For Perfect Baked Vegan Strawberry Donuts:
- These donuts are baked in the oven to perfection + they are fabulous. I don’t miss the frying + neither will you!
- If you need to make these ahead of time, allow them to cool, ice them, and store them in an airtight container until ready to eat. They are better when fresh but if you need to prep them ahead of time simply keep them in an airtight container until ready.
- Donut pans are tricky to fill neatly. My advice is to pour the batter into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a large Ziploc bag and cut off the corner end and carefully pour your batter into the Ziploc bag. Use the piping bag or Ziploc bag to fill each donut compartment equally.
- I did not test this recipe with alternative flours, just the all-purpose flour. If you use a different flour, let me know!
Love donuts? Me too!

Baked Vegan Strawberry Donuts
These donuts have the wonderful flavors of a cake-like donut and sweet strawberryiesbaked right in! Topped with amazing pink icing!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax plus 3 tbsp water)
- 1/4 cup dairy free milk (I used Oatly oat milk)
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
- 4-5 strawberries (stems removed, chopped small)
- For The Icing:
- 1/2 cup softened/room temperature vegan butter
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp plain unsweetened plant-based milk (I used Oatly oat milk)
- 3-4 drops of red plant-based food dye (I used 365 brand)
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Step 2 Grease donut pan with oil spray or melted vegan butter.
- Step 3 Combine dry ingredients together in one bowl. Add in all wet ingredients, gently stir again until all ingredients fully combined. Careful not to over-mix.
- Step 4 Pour the batter into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a large Ziploc bag and cut off the corner end and carefully pour your batter into the Ziploc bag. Use the piping bag or Ziploc bag to fill each donut compartment equally.
- Step 5 Add the chopped strawberries, dividing the chopped strawberries equally amongst the 12 donuts.
- Step 6 Bake in 350 degree oven for 13 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
- Step 7 While donuts are baking, prepare the icing by combining all icing ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth, or stirring ingredients together by hand, adding additional plant-based milk as needed to form a thick icing consistency. Careful not to add too much milk! Add the food coloring last, add more drops for more red, less for more pink
- Step 8 When the donuts are done baking, carefully remove from the oven.
- Step 9 Once cool enough to handle, generously ice each donut, sprinkle with sprinkles as desired.
- Step 10 Donuts are best eaten on the same day made. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container, heat in microwave for 20 seconds when ready to enjoy leftovers.
