Vegan Glazed Vanilla Doughnut Holes
I adore these doughnut holes because they’re light, fluffy, and have a sweet vanilla glaze that just melts in your mouth. They remind me of cozy weekends spent baking with friends.

These Vegan Glazed Vanilla Doughnut Holes are a little piece of joy I whip up whenever I need a sweet treat that doesn’t compromise my values.
I remember the first time I made them for a brunch gathering, and everyone was surprised to find they were completely plant-based!
A little tip: the key to achieving that fluffy texture is using a good leavening agent and not overmixing the batter.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes
- •I like to store these in an airtight container at room temperature; they stay fresh for a few days.
- •For an extra special touch, sprinkle some cinnamon on the glaze before it sets!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add some mini vegan chocolate chips to the batter for a delightful twist.
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter for a warm spice flavor.
Storage & Freezing
