Breakfast this Sunday was the best I’ve had in a really long time. I mean, I knew this gluten-free diet would be hard, but I didn’t know so many things would come across my computer screen…But my day was totally made this Sunday and this is why. My friends, I would like to present to you the unofficialVegan & Gluten-Free Krispie Kreme Donut Holes Copycat Recipe. Love it, because, my lovelies, it’s for real and it’s that good.
I spend like half my life now on Pinterest…its like a relaxing hobby I can do when I’m out. There’s no way to color when you’re sitting in the car waiting for a drive-thru or killing time in a line at the DMV. But Pinterest? Yup. So, I’m hunting around the other day for cool things to pin and I found this awesome recipe for Copycat Krispie Kreme Donuts on one of my favorite blogs, DinnerThenDessert. I kind of fell in love a little, but it was all like a “normal” recipe. For “normal” people. Not for me. I was sad in a tiny little corner of myself…I really wanted those donuts. But I couldn’t resist. So, I modified the recipe and this was the awesome result. I love these donut holes. Because, my lovelies, it’s for real and it’s that good.
I would like to present to you the unofficial Vegan & Gluten-Free Krispie Kreme Donut Holes Copycat Recipe. Love it, because, my lovelies, it's for real and it's that good.
2 packages, about 4½ teaspoons total active dry yeast
4½ cups gluten-free flour blend, I used Bob's Redmill All Purpose
1 cup aquafaba, yus, bean juice
1¼ cups sugar
8 tablespoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons salt
4 cups vegetable oil for frying
Glaze
2½ cups powdered sugar
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup heavy corn syrup
Instructions
Start the day before you want to have these awesome donuts.
Stir the water and yeast together in a medium bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
Whisk in a cup of the flour (ish) until it's smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, then leave in a warm place for 45 minutes to rise or until it gets bubbly (which is hard to see through the towel, but check on it at like the 30 minute mark, then again every 5-ish minutes or so).
Combine the coconut oil and sugar in your stand mixer until thoroughly combined.
Place the aquafaba in the coconut oil and sugar mixture and mix well.
Add in the vanilla and salt. Mix well, too. Heh.
Now, you're going to want to swap your whisk for the paddle on your stand mixer.
Add the yeast mixture to the sugar mixture along with the rest of the flour, while your stand mixer is running. Allow to run until the flour is fully mixed in and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Place the dough in a large greased bowl covering with plastic wrap and a towel again.
Let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour (you can do 2, but there's not going to be much difference, honestly).
Remove the dough from the bowl and place in a zippered baggie, forcing all the air out before closing.
Refrigerate overnight.
Break off pieces of the dough, rolling them into 1/2-inch thick balls.
Cover with a damp paper towel and allow the donut holes to rest for 30-45 mins.
Heat the frying oil to a point where a tiny bit of dough placed in the center of the pan causes it to bubble and fry nicely..
Carefully fry the doughnut holes on each side for 90 seconds.
Place in a bowl over a paper towel to drain until all of the donut holes are cooked.
Make the glaze by putting all the ingredients together in a small bowl and whisking together until the mixture is smooth.
Dip each donut hole in the glaze and place on a wire rack to allow the glaze to harden.
Be careful as you stuff them in your face, because you might stuff too many and then you have to do a trip to the hospital...it's just a thing.

With the vegan Krispy Kreme doughnuts, at least, the ingredient list is quite long. The doughnut itself contains a wheat flour base, made from wheat flour, calcium carbonate iron, niacin and thiamin.Water, dextrose, palm oil, yeast, salt and wheat gluten are next on the list.
The secret to Krispy Kreme doughnuts is of course the sweet glaze, and this is achieved by bathing the doughnuts in a glaze of icing sugar, vanilla extract and milk, for a thicker glaze increase the quantity of icing sugar by a few spoons.
Vegans no longer have to miss out on Krispy Kremes
Krispy Kreme is one of the world's most famous doughnut brands, selling its treats on a global scale. The brand was relatively late to the vegan market, with the Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Vegan arriving in 2021 as its first animal-product-free doughnut.
Vegan donuts use milk that is plant-based instead of milk coming from animals. Some of these non-dairy substitutes are soy milk, almond, rice, and cocoon.
The only animal by-products used in our doughnuts are eggs (whites and yolks) and dairy products (including milk, butter, yogurt, whey, nonfat milk and nonfat whey).
A batch of original glazed starts with Krispy Kreme doughnut mix, water and yeast, the same single-cell fungi used to make bread rise. The yeast is what makes the original glazed so light -- it puffs the dough up with air, so it's not dense like a cake doughnut (more on this later).
Even more of an issue is the fact that the Cake Batter Donut has less than one gram of fiber, meaning there's nothing to help your body break down the carbohydrates it's taking in.
We use vegetable shortening (palm, soybean, and/or cottonseed and canola oil) for zero gram of trans fat per one serving of doughnut. All monoglycerides and diglycerides are vegetable based. Enzymes are also present.
Oat Flour. This flour alternative is made with ground oats. High in fiber and slightly sweet in flavor, oat flour will most often be seen as a flour replacement for a portion of the white or wheat flour in homemade bread, pancakes, and other baked goods.
A: There is no set rule for how often you can eat Krispy Kreme donuts. However, it is recommended to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet to avoid any health risks.
The answer? Yes and no! Whilst traditional donuts are not vegan due to containing eggs, milk and butter, non-traditional versions such as those offered by popular bakeries and vegan brands are!
Even if you're not a full-time vegan, there are many benefits to opting for vegan donuts over “regular” donuts. Many times, vegan donuts contain fewer calories than regular donuts, as they're not loaded with butter, milk, and cream. For those looking to watch their weight, vegan donuts can be a great option.
Unless you're at a bakery specializing in vegan pastries, nearly all store-brand and bakery donuts have milk, egg, or a combination of both. Donuts also almost always contain sugar, some of which is likely processed using animal-based bone char.
Ingredient Information: The only animal by-products used in our doughnuts are eggs (whites and yolks) and dairy products (including milk, butter, yogurt, whey, nonfat milk and nonfat whey).
If your pals are all going to Krispy Kreme and you don't want to come away empty-handed, there are some vegan drinks available on the menu. If you're in the mood for something super sweet and refreshing, go for one of the chain's frozen chillers. Iced Coffee (Ask for no milk.)
Most of our Core Range Doughnuts are doughnuts are suitable for vegetarians who follow an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. This excludes our Strawberry Sprinkles doughnut, which been deemed as not suitable for vegetarians due to the food coloring used in processing.
The core coffee menu at Dunkin' can be ordered vegan in its entirety, including espressos, lattes, matcha and chai lattes, iced coffees, and cold brews, with the addition of one of the three plant-based milks available: almond, oat, or coconut.
