Vegan donuts have definitely had a moment, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. Walk into almost any coffee shop and you’ll usually spot a tray of baked vegan donuts front and center. But here’s the thing, while vegan options are becoming more common, finding ones that are also gluten-free is still surprisingly rare.
That’s exactly why I love making my own. These baked vegan blueberry donuts are soft, fluffy, and packed with juicy blueberries, without any gluten or dairy. They have that same cozy, bakery-style feel, but made with simple ingredients you can feel good about.
I’m here to fill that gap. Gluten-free, vegan baked donuts have truly become my thing. Have you tried my Baked Strawberry Donuts with Lemon Glaze or my Baked Chocolate Donuts with Chocolate Avocado Icing? They’re both gluten-free, vegan, soft, fluffy, and honestly so good.
Here’s How To Make These Gluten-Free Vegan Donuts
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently mix until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner cut, then evenly pipe into the donut pan.
- Bake until the donuts are set and lightly golden.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dip each donut into the glaze and return to the rack to set.
How To Make Lemon Blueberry Glaze?
The blueberry glaze is made with powdered sugar, so it isn’t refined sugar free. You can absolutely skip it, but it adds such a delicious, tangy sweetness that really brings the donuts together.
To make it, blend the blueberries until smooth using a blender or food processor. Then add the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice, and blend again until the glaze is silky and well combined. Once smooth, it’s ready to use.

Vegan Baked Blueberry Donuts (Gluten-Free)
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 3 tbsp Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Non-Dairy Milk
- 1/4 cup Vegan Butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/3 cup Fresh Blueberries
Flax Egg
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 5 tbsp water
Blueberry Lemon Glaze
- 1/4 cup Frozen Wild Blueberries
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (195°C)
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the flax egg and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. In a seperate bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients, including the flax egg.
- Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking to combine. The batter should be thick. If it appears too thin, add 1 tbsp of gluten-free flour at a time until it thickens.
- Fold in the blueberries
- Lightly grease the donut pan with oil. Using a spoon or pastry bag, fill each donut opening until it is full to the top
- Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Take the donuts out of the oven and let the donuts cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then gently transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Leave the donuts as is, or try topping them with the Blueberry Lemon Glaze!
Notes
- Can sub 1/3 cup Applesauce instead of flax egg to keep vegan or use 2 Eggs for the non-vegan option
- For best results, when you remove the donuts from the oven, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack for up to ten minutes. The longer they cool the more firm they will become, making it easier to add any glaze or icing.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Can store in the freezer for up to one month.

This is an absolutely incredible recipe. I love that I was able to customize the ingredients to fit exactly what I wanted and it still turned out exceptional. I used a mixture of strawberry and blueberries and modified some of the other ingredients to fit my needs.
You know a recipe is solid when you can tweak it and it still turns out exceptional.
