Doughnuts! Was there ever a baked good that inspired such devotion? From Homer Simpson to World Doughnut Day – yep, it’s a thing – we sure do love the cake with a hole.

Unfortunately, they also often come with a side-serve of the guilts. From their gooey jam-filled centers to the lip-smacking icing, they’re a veritable sugar-laden fructose-fest – until now.

Enter stage left, Nexba’s Perfect Baked Vegan Doughnuts. Fructose free and packed with nutrients, this super-healthy doughnut recipe also packs a probiotic punch with a sneaky pour of Nexba Mixed Berry Kombucha.

[ingredients]

Doughnut Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour (or regular all purpose flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup Nexba Mixed Berry Kombucha
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (+ extra to grease), melted
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (we used peanut butter!)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 3 tbsp filtered water for 10-15 minutes (This soaking process will create a chia ‘egg’) or add 1 organic egg, whisked, as a non-vegan option

Icing

  • 1/2 cup coconut yoghurt (or natural yoghurt to make it non-vegan)
  • 1 tbsp pomegranate juice (optional, for extra colour)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Nexba Mixed Berry Kombucha
  • Toasted flaked almonds (optional)
[time] 30 mins
[method]
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C conventional / 180°C fan-forced / 356°F.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the centre and add the Nexba Mixed Berry Kombucha, nut butter and coconut oil. Mix well.
  3. Add the chia ‘egg’ (or whisked organic egg) and gently stir through.
  4. Grease a doughnut tray with extra coconut oil and spoon in the doughnut mixture. Don’t overfill the tray as the doughnuts will rise. Filling the doughnut hole to 3/4 of the way up should be perfect.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the ‘icing’. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so.
  7. Spoon on top of the doughnuts and top with toasted flaked almonds (optional).
