Eggless donuts, pie, cheesecake, tarts are long pending in this blog. For some reason I have this mental block from trying these recipes, even yeast bread recipes. It's been a while since I baked this beginner's white bread! Have to get to those recipes too.

I think 2 years back I did try to make homemade donuts. It was not a baked donut recipe but the traditional deep-fried donut recipe. Like all such recipes that doughnut recipe involved the use of yeast and eggs. Of course, I can't get away omitting yeast, that I was aware of, but was not sure how to substitute for the egg.Didn't have Ener-G egg replacer at home which came to my mind immediately, so went with a mix of cornstarch, baking powder, etc. No wonder it didn't turn out as good as I expected. It looked great, no doubts about it at all. But the texture was horrible! It was sort of crispy, dry..altogether definitely not like store bought donuts. Egg Free Baked Donuts

Ever since I just avoided trying it even though I wanted to. Then I came to know about baked donuts. Saw a couple of recipes but still didn't try it out. But I had bought donut pans, the regular round one and also heart-shaped one.I once tried some left-over eggless checkerboard cake batter in the heart shaped donut pan and it did come out well. It looked so cute, especially that it was a pink/red coloured cake batter. Now I know what to make for next Valentine's Day!Last week it was my eldest son's last day of school in grade 5 and I wanted to surprise him with some baked treat when he got back from school. He loves sweets and especially anything chocolatey! While browsing on Pinterest for some easy chocolate dessert recipes I came across this baked chocolate donut recipe. Eggless Baked Chocolate Donuts

It made only a small batch, just 6 baked doughnuts, the size of the pan I had. So I decided to try it, convincing myself that even if it doesn't turn out well it's just a small recipe, I wouldn't be wasting too many raw materials.I chose flax egg as an egg substitute for the egg in the original recipe.Don't ask why because when it comes to egg substitutes in baking it just flashes when I see a recipe and fortunately it has been correct most of the time, as it was with this baked doughnut recipe. Eggless Chocolate Donuts

These egg-free baked donuts looked perfect. I was really stunned to see that I was able to remove the doughnuts neatly from the donut pan. It looked perfect! But how did it taste? Was it any good, was it similar to that of fried donuts? The answer would have to be yes and no.Yes, because it tasted very good. No, because it did not taste or have the texture of deep-fried donuts made with yeast. It was not light and airy like those fried donuts instead it had the texture of a muffin/cake. That's the reason that baked donuts are also referred to as cake donuts.But that won't stop me from trying this baked chocolate donut recipe or any other baked donut recipe for that matter. It would make an excellent gift during Christmas or anytime and would be a beautiful addition on a breakfast table or your potluck party or a school bake sale!Try this easy and simple baked chocolate donut recipe and wow your family and friends!Recipe Chocolate Donuts

I just tried making these and they tasted delicious but were really crumbly. Is there a trick to help them stay together better?

  I'm guessing you should increase the quantity of liquid in the recipe a bit more.

The doughnuts look yum. I don't use flax seeds/eggs.Can you suggest an alternative for the same? Or can I use yogurt instead of flax seed?

  I think 3 tablespoons of yogurt should work fine.

Can you replace buttermilk with Almond or coconut milk mixed with vinegar to make these vegan?

So excited, I'm going to make the vegan version of these tonight in a mini donut pan. What changes would you make to do a vanilla donut version? Omit the cocoa of course... but just leave it out or sub with 1/4c flour? Or maybe just 2 T flour?

  Hmm..probably. But another reader tried that and felt that it was not as good as the chocolate donuts. So not sure.

I just made these, and they came out great! I made them vegan by replacing the buttermilk with 1/3 cup non-dairy milk mixed with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. I also made them into donut holes and baked them for 8 minutes.

Hello,

I tried this recipe and it turned out delicious! It was so filling. It wasn't very sweet - just right. I couldn't believe it turned out so wonderful in my first try. Thank you for sharing! Do you have any other non-chocolate baked donut recipe which is as easy as this one?
