Vegan Strawberry Banana Doughnuts

These vegan strawberry banana doughnuts are perfect for summer! They’re full of sweet strawberry + banana flavor and they couldn’t be easier to make with just 4 healthy ingredients.

Strawberry + banana is such a dreamy combo that for me is totally synonymous with sunshine + summer. They’re a great team in smoothies and overnight oats, so I figured they’d be legit in doughnuts, too, and I wasn’t wrong.

Let’s chat about vegan strawberry banana doughnuts! These are almost too easy and so perfect for a fun breakfast on a warm summer morning.

ingredients for vegan strawberry doughnuts

• Rolled oats: you’ll blend the oats to flour consistency, which will hold the doughnuts together. Because it’s the only grain in the recipe, the oat flour will give the doughnuts a more dense texture – they’re not light and airy, but hearty and satisfying.
• Freeze dried strawberries: you’ll blend the freeze dried strawberries along with the oats to powder consistency. These give the doughnuts a punch of sweet strawberry flavor without adding too much liquid to the batter like fresh berries would.
• Bananas: mashed ripe and spotty bananas are the main sweetener for the doughnuts, and they also give a softer texture.
• Nondairy milk: milk brings the doughnut batter together. I used unsweetened almond milk, but any nondairy milk should work.

tips for making vegan strawberry doughnuts

• Measure the rolled oats before blending into flour. I always list the amount of oats used BEFORE they’re blended for flour. So in this case, you’ll measure out 1 1/2 cups of whole, rolled oats, then put that 1 1/2 cups into your blender to make flour.
• Same goes for the freeze dried strawberries! You’ll measure out 1/2 cup of freeze dried berries and add that to the blender with the oats to break them down.
• Use ripe bananas. The bananas need to be super ripe, brown and spotty for the best flavor + sweetness.
• Portion any leftover batter between the 6 doughnuts. Use a 1/4 cup measure to portion the batter into the 6 spaces in the doughnut pan. You may have some batter leftover, so just evenly portion it between the 6 doughnuts.
• Use a nonstick pan. I always use a silicone, nonstick pan so that the doughnuts don’t stick after baking.
• Add a glaze or some toppings if you’re feeling fancy. These doughnuts are great on their own, but I love mixing a bit of unsweetened vegan yogurt with some more freeze dried strawberries for on top!

These vegan strawberry banana doughnuts are rich, perfectly sweet from the fruit, and loaded with those strawberry + banana flavors that I can’t get enough of in the warmer months. The ingredients are so simple + nutritious that unlike a traditional doughnut, these gems will leave you feeling satisfied + energized.
