Ingredients

For the Batter

1/4 cup Vegan Butter Provides moisture and richness; substitute with coconut oil if dairy-free options are unavailable.
1/3 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the batter; can be replaced with coconut sugar for a less processed option.
3 tablespoons Aquafaba Acts as an egg replacer, offering structure.
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Adds aromatic citrus flavor; fresh is best.
1 teaspoon Lemon Extract Enhances lemon flavor; can be omitted.
1/3 cup Flax Milk Liquid base for the batter; any plant-based milk can be used.
1 teaspoon Vinegar Activates the baking powder; apple cider vinegar works well.
1 cup Bob’s 1-1 Gluten-Free Flour Provides structure; regular flour can be used if gluten is not an issue.

Baking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 6-cavity donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine aquafaba and vinegar in a small bowl and let it curdle for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted vegan butter and granulated sugar, then mix in the aquafaba mixture, lemon zest, and lemon extract.
In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients.
Fold in diced blackberries gently.
Using a piping bag, fill each donut cavity 2/3 full with batter.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until donuts spring back when pressed, then cool for a few minutes.
Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth, adjusting lemon juice for consistency.
Dip cooled donuts in glaze or drizzle over them.
Serve and enjoy your Baked Blackberry Donuts!
