    Baked Vegan Cake Donuts

    Baked Vegan Cake Donuts. Fluffy, only 9 simple ingredients with a glaze or frosting option! These yummy donuts come together quickly and are easy enough that anyone can make them! #vegan #donuts #frosted #baked #cake

    Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

    This is a friendly reminder that not everything we eat needs to offer nutritional value.

    Not everything we eat needs to be “healthy”.

    I believe it’s healthier to indulge when appropriate, rather than restrict. I know my blog is all about promoting kale and broccoli and nourishing plant foods, but there is wiggle room for indulgences too. Just felt inclined to share that.

    Okay, moving on! 

    How adorable are these ‘Baked Vegan Cake Donuts’ though?!

    I had so much fun frosting and decorating these little cuties. I knew I wanted to share something sweet for V-Day with you, but felt like so many bloggers have already shared truffles and brownies and the like, so I went with fluffy donuts! First, can we talk about how easy and quick these came together?! I was actually surprised, and I’m not just saying that. Don’t know why, but I thought donuts would be harder to make. So basically, anyone can make these. And only 9 ingredients that you probably have on hand (except maybe for the store-bought frosting – but I provide a glaze recipe, so don’t worry). Also, here is the donut pan I used, in case you need to pick one up!

    Also, they really do taste like cake!

    I’m not usually a cake or cupcake person, but these donuts remind me of vanilla cake – in a good way.

    I thought about making a glaze but honestly, it sounded like too much extra work… plus I had frosting from Miss Jones Baking Co. on hand that I wanted to use. The glaze recipe is easy though, so if that’s more your style, go for it. Don’t forget the sprinkles and/or vegan marshmallows. I also sprinkled mine with edible rose petals, just for fun, but I’m well aware that is super #extra, and not everyone has edible rose petals lying around.

    To tint the frosting I stirred in some beet powder, thinking it would transform to a beautiful pastel pink. Instead, it turned light purple. Who knows!! I’m cool with purple too. Here is some natural food coloring though. Fresh beet or pomegranate juice probably would have worked better.

    if you?re not into beet powder, here are other homemade ideas for natural food coloring:

    • Pink/Red: pure pomegranate juice, pure raspberry juice or pure beet juice (or powdered versions of each)
    • Orange: carrot juice, paprika
    • Yellow: ground turmeric (or turmeric juice)
    • Green: spirulina powder, matcha powder, liquid chlorophyll, spinach powder
    • Blue: red cabbage juice, blue majik powder
    • Purple: pure blueberry juice, purple sweet potatoes
    • Chocolate: cacao powder

    I’m obsessed with these donuts and see myself whipping them up on Sunday mornings, with all the Coconut Adaptogenic Mushroom Lattes.

    YUMM! Hope you have fun with these and tag me in your pictures so I can see your creations!

    Description

    Baked Vegan Cake Donuts. Fluffy, only 9 simple ingredients with a glaze or frosting option! These yummy donuts come together quickly and are easy enough that anyone can make them!


    Ingredients

    Scale

    1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water

    1/2 cup light coconut milk (or any plant milk)

    1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    1/2 cup cane sugar

    1 + 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    1/4 teaspoon sea salt

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1/4 cup melted coconut oil

    optional – Miss Jones Baking Co. frosting

    optional – sprinkles

    vanilla glaze recipe:

    3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

    1 tablespoon room-temperature maple syrup

    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

    optional – natural food coloring drops, until you reach desired color (or use the natural food coloring options above!)


    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Lightly grease a donut pan.

    In a small bowl, stir the flax and water together, and set aside for 10 minutes, to create a flax “egg”.

    In a separate, smaller sized bowl, combine the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside to make a vegan “buttermilk”.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

    Melt the coconut oil and pour into the dry ingredients, along with the vanilla, flax “egg” and “buttermilk” mixture. Stir together until well combined.

    Spoon mixture into the donut pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Use the store-bought frosting or make the glaze (it’s quick!). Then glaze/frost your donuts and decorate with sprinkles and/or marshmallows. Enjoy!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
