These soft BAKED homemade almond butter donuts are completely vegan and oil free!
I am suddenly so obsessed with donuts.
Chocolate donuts, glazed donuts, or these Blueberry Baked Donuts…
Other flavors I’ve tried recently include toasted coconut, chocolate frosted, and cookies & cream!
It’s been a month filled with company – parents, relatives, and friends from out of town—and homemade donuts are one of my go-to easy breakfast recipes to make for company. They’re super fancy and fun, with very little prep work required.

Above – watch the video how to make almond butter donuts
I’m not sure if anyone has said donuts are the new cupcakes, but seriously, donuts are way better than cupcakes.
If you need a donut pan, they’re easy to find – I like this donut pan on Amazon.
I’ve also seen them available at Target, Walmart, in craft stores like Michaels, in grocery stores, some department stores, or at World Market or Bed Bath Beyond (where I always have a zillion coupons).
Or the almond butter donut recipe can also be made without a donut pan if you’d prefer.
I used a mini donut pan for the donuts in the photos and a regular-sized pan for the ones in the video below.
Both ways were delicious!!!
Almond Butter Donuts
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 1/2 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
- 3 1/2 tbsp almond butter or allergy-friendly sub
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup spelt, white, gf ap, or oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- If you want to glaze them with Almond Butter Glaze: Stir together 1/2 cup powdered sugar or sugar free powdered sugar, 1 tbsp almond butter, 2 tbsp milk of choice, 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch salt. Glaze makes enough for all the donuts with a little left over.For the donuts: Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a donut pan, mini donut pan, or mini muffin pan. If not easily stir-able, gently heat almond butter until soft. Stir together first five ingredients, being sure to completely break up the nut butter so there are no clumps. Stir in dry to form a batter, spread into pan, and bake 8 minutes. Let sit a few minutes before going around the sides with a knife and popping out. Glaze if desired, refrigerate, then drizzle melted chocolate on top if desired. Store loosely covered out overnight – The flavor is even better the next day! Leftover donuts can also be frozen.View Nutrition Facts

More Recipes With Almond Butter:
Have you ever tried freezing these? I’m wanting to make a bunch of stuff for my kids ahead of time before I have surgery and these look awesome!
It works!
Could you use pumpkin purée in substitute for the almond butter?
How long do they need to be refrigerated for after glazing?
Store in the fridge for best freshness, so until you eat them.
I used homemade healthy Nutella instead of the almond butter, and as the glazing. Sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts. Yummm!!
These are very delicious and easy to make. I had to bake 3-4 minutes longer, my almond butter was runny. I put a picture of them in my new coconut bowl on the front page. Thank you for the recipe. ( I used homemade oat flour)
Just made these. Thank you so so much for A recipe that can match a ‘normal’ recipe. They are amazingly good and moist. I made mine into cupcakes because I haven’t gotten a doughnut pan yet. So happy I stumbled on your site. ❤ ?
I have to double, triple and quadruple the batches because they are gone so quick! Absolutely my favorite baked doughnut recipe ever!!!!
Just made these and they were fantastic! I will make them again. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Hi,
These look amazing! But what is “gf ap”? Sorry if this is stated somewhere else, I just couldn’t find it! Could you use tapioca or arrowroot flour?
It’s gluten free all purpose. I don’t think the ones you mentioned would hold up here but be sure to report back if you experiment!
Can i use honey in the glaze in place of the powdered sugar?
You can always experiment! Be sure to report back if you do, as it sounds like a fun experiment 🙂
