Baked Cardamom Donuts with Maple Glaze
Light and fluffy baked vegan cardamom donuts topped with a maple glaze and finished with salt.
Ingredients
Donuts
- 95 g all-purpose flour
- 70 g white granulated sugar, make sure it’s vegan
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 15 g plain vegan yogurt
- 90 g plant based milk
- 10 g neutral oil, (grapeseed, canola, vegetable...)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or paste
Maple Glaze
- 60 g powdered sugar
- 30 g maple syrup
- plant based milk
- pinch of salt
- flaky salt or sea salt for topping
Instructions
Donuts
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F and grease your donut pan.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, milk, oil and vanilla.
- Add to the flour mixture and stir until smooth. Pipe (using a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner cut off) or spoon the batter halfway up the mold.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool 10 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
Maple Glaze
- Mix together the ingredients except the milk. Add the milk about 1/2 tsp at a time until it runs off the spoon smoothly but still coats it well. It should take about 1 tsp.
- Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops or bottoms in the glaze, place on the wire rack, sprinkle with salt and let set.
Notes
- *Disclaimer: I have a tiny not-so-great oven, so your bake time may vary from mine.
- I strongly suggest making recipes by weight, if you make them by cups I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same results.
- The cardamom can be replaced with another spice you might prefer. Or leave it out and double the vanilla.
- The glaze can also be changed to a glaze of your choice or they can be made without it and dipped in cinnamon sugar.
- The mold I use makes donuts that are on the smaller side so you might need more batter depending on the size of yours.
