Blueberry Banana Baked Donuts

These Vegan Blueberry Banana Donuts are healthy, soft, and baked to perfection.

Can’t decide between a muffin or a donut for breakfast? Now you don’t have to choose! These Vegan and Guilt-Free Blueberry Banana Donuts are the best of both worlds. They are the perfect cross between a flavorful blueberry muffin and fluffy banana bread. The best part? They’re secretly made with 100% wholesome ingredients and are refined sugar-free.

I am a firm believer that donuts are one of the sweetest indulgences in life. Although, most donuts contain a large amount of sugar and high-fat content. I wanted to create a recipe that would allow me to indulge in my favorite breakfast treat completely guilt-free, and this my friends, is how these delicious baked donuts were born. Made with ingredients like whole wheat flour, bananas, and sweetened with maple syrup, you can feel good about enjoying this morning classic. These donuts are packed with banana flavor, bursting with blueberries, and filled with warm cinnamon in every bite.

Ingredient Breakdown

These blueberry banana baked donuts contain a few key ingredients that ensure their soft texture and perfect sweetness:

Whole wheat flour

First, these donuts are based on whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is a great alternative to white flour if you want to get more nutritional benefits. This flour also helps give these donuts their tender texture and helps to add an additional layer of flavor.

Banana

Since this recipe is made from 100% vegan ingredients, banana works as a plant-based egg replacement. Banana helps to keep baked goods light, fluffy, and moist. Plus, it is also the main flavor profile within these donuts and is a wonderful all-natural sweetener.

Maple syrup

1/4 of a cup of maple syrup help to give these donuts their sweetness alongside the banana. Maple syrup also adds subtle hints of vanilla and maple to every bite of these donuts.

Coconut oil

Melted coconut oil ensures that these donuts stay moist, tender, and flavorful. It is important that you use almond milk that has been slightly warmed to at least room temperature (I just heat it up in the microwave) so that it does not solidify the coconut oil when the two ingredients are combined.

Ingredients

Donuts

• 1 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour
• 3 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 1/2 cup of almond milk (room temperature or warm) or dairy free milk of choice
• 1 1/4 cups of mashed banana about 3 large overripe
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 3/4 cup of fresh blueberries

Glaze:

• 3/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of almond milk
• Or to keep refined sugar free drizzle donuts with a small amount of maple syrup

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a donut pan (if you do not have a donut pan, these will make wonderful muffins!)
• Combine the first 5 dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk.
• Combine the melted coconut oil, mashed bananas, maple syrup, almond milk (make sure your almond milk is slightly warm so it does not solidify the coconut oil) and vanilla in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.
• Evenly divide batter into prepared pan, filling each donut to the top. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until donuts have risen, spring back to the touch or a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan.
• Make glaze by combining sugar and almond milk and drizzle over cooled donuts.
