These Lavender Rose Baked Vegan Donuts are the perfect Valentine’s breakfast, afternoon snack, or even a cute dessert. The best part is, you won’t feel deprived at all even though you’re eating healthy baked donuts! 

Do You Need a Special Pan to Make Baked Donuts?

Yes, there is a donut baking pan that you will need to have. They come in 2 sizes mini and regular. They have donut shaped holes which help the batter keep its shape.

Is All Corn Starch GMO?

You can buy organic cornstarch that is not GMO. I know that this is a concern for some of you, but you can get organic online and I’ve found it in Whole Foods stores too.

I used cornstarch as my powder base because it’s used in regular powdered sugar. You should be able to use arrowroot or another base if you want.

What Does Culinary Rose Petals Mean?

I also grind culinary rose petals and mixed into my homemade powdered stevia to give it a slight pink tint. Since there are a lot of roses grown for floral uses those may be sprayed with things that aren’t okay to ingest.

Culinary means it’s for cooking and that they are safe to eat.

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry in another. Spray your mini donut pan with a little oil so they will be easier to get out.
  2. Then add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix just until it's mixed. Divide the batter between the 12 donut molds. Bake in pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully remove. (If you don't wait they will stick in the pan even though you oiled it.)
  4. Take donut by the top and dip the bottom into the rose powdered stevia (recipe below). You may have to rub it in a bit to get it to stick. (Why the bottom? It has more moisture on it from cooling in the pan.)
