Egg-Free Red Velvet Donuts Recipe Highlights
My kids adore donuts! And these Easy Eggless Red Velvet Donuts are one of their favorites. They’re light and fluffy and can be whipped up at a moment’s notice with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! Super easy to make with simple ingredients. No electric mixer is required to make these egg-free donuts. These donuts have just the right note of chocolate to complement the cream cheese frosting, and they are SO GOOD!!! A fun and easy treat that’s perfect for any breakfast or brunch gathering!
You’ll need:
Step 3 – Add Food Color
Step 4 – Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Step 5 – Pipe Or Spoon The Batter Into Donut Cavities
Step 1 – Mix The Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. PRO TIP: Be careful not to overfill your donut pan; the indentations should be no more than 3/4 of the way full, ideally halfway full. If you add too much batter, the donuts will expand over the pan’s edges and lose their shape.
Step 6 – Bake
Step 7 – Glaze
PRO-TIP: I recommend using heavy-duty aluminum foil since they hold the form better.
If you don’t have a donut pan, you can make little balls with foil and parchment paper. Place the ball in the middle of a muffin pan cavity. Pipe the batter using a pastry bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off around the ball. Make sure to coat the foil with baking spray very well before adding the batter. If you want to make these donuts ahead of time, just don’t glaze them until you’re about ready to serve. You can adjust your glaze’s thickness by adding milk slowly until you’re happy with the consistency.
FREEZE: Not glazed donuts can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature, and then glaze if desired.
