    Blue Marble Donuts (Gluten Free + Vegan Option)

    November 28, 2019 by Rosemary 1 Comment

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Blue marble donuts made with a baked vanilla donut! Take a walk in outer space with my fun marble glazed galaxy donuts! My galaxy donut recipe is surprisingly easy to make, gluten free friendly, healthy, and even includes a vegan option!

    I always wonder whether it is spelled “donut,” or “doughnut.” Hmmm. I think it might have something to do with the uprising of dunkin donuts because I remember spelling the doughnuts. Oh well who cares, these blue marble vanilla bean doughnuts are DELISH!!

    I made my galaxy donuts even better by using oat flour instead of all-purpose flour. This cuts down the glycemic index. Oat flour also is less of an inflammatory ingredient because it has more fiber! Now the last thing I need to adjust is the sugar and we will have a much healthier donut. But, I am still working on that one.

    BLUE GALAXY DONUT INGREDIENTS

    For the baked vanilla bean donut batter:

    • whole grain oat flour
    • Raw cane sugar (or, coconut sugar, honey, date syrup, or maple syrup)
    • Aluminum free baking powder
    • Pink sea salt
    • Unrefined coconut oil
    • Egg or flax egg
    • Soy milk
    • Pure vanilla extract

    For the blue marble glaze

    • Raw cane powdered sugar
    • Vanilla soy milk
    • Natural Blue food Dye made from blue spirulina

    These blue marble galaxy donuts will have you dreaming of galaxy's far away!

    TIPS TO MAKE SUPER EASY BLUE GALAXY DONUTS!

    USE VANILLA SOY MILK. I used unsweetened vanilla soy milk not only for a dairy free vegan friendly donut recipe.. but also because it adds even more vanilla flavor to the donut batter!

    MAKE YOUR OWN OAT FLOUR! Homemade oat flour is so easy to make! Simply measure whole oats and then blend, food process, or coffee grind into a fine powder and you have easy homemade oat flour!

    MIX UNTIL JUST COMBINED. Mix until donut batter ingredients are just combined. Over mixing can cause the dough to become tough.

    BAKE UNTIL JUST DRY! Make sure you don’t over bake them! This will dry them out!

    HOW TO MAKE BLUE GALAXY DONUTS

    Step 1: Make the vanilla bean donut batter

    While you prepare your batter, turn your oven to 350 degrees to preheat. Grease 6 donut molds in your donut tray.

    How to make baked donut batter:

    • sift together dry ingredients (oat flour, sugar, baking powder, sea salt)
    • mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl (coconut oil, egg, milk, vanilla)
    • fold dry ingredients into wet and mix until combined

    Step 2: Bake donuts

    Spoon or pipe batter evenly between the 6 donut holes.

    Wipe off any excess batter around the edges of the donut pan wells.

    Put your donuts in the middle rack in your preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

    You can test to see if your donuts are done baking by doing the “toothpick test.”

    Toothpick test:

    • Stick a toothpick in the center
    • if it comes out clean, they are done

    Keep the donuts in the pan on a baking rack while they cool. Once they are cool, you can slide a spatula along the inner and outer sides. Then you can flip the pan over and tap them out. (This is where a properly greased tray comes in hand!)

    The donuts should fall right out. If they are stuck. Try using a small spatula and getting them out gently.

    Step 3: Prepare the marble frosting

    While your donuts cool, in a small saucer bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar and 4 Tablespoons of soy milk to prepare for the blue marble donut dipping! My favorite part about making galaxy donuts!

    Step 4: Make blue marble donut glaze

    If you don’t want to create the blue marble, you can just dip them in the plain frosting!

    If you do, drop different sized drops on top of your frosting. You can use a toothpick to swirl the colors around. Dip your vanilla donut into the marble just until it is halfway in and remove it. Place it on the backing rack to dry.

    Continue adding more dye as needed while you are dipping your galaxy donuts. Enjoy!

    FAQ's

    Frequently asked questions about my blue marble galaxy donut recipe!

    Can I use a color other than blue?

    Yes! You can use any color that you want! Purple and green are other nice colors to use if you are trying for a galaxy donut look.

    How long can I store blue marble galaxy donuts for?

    Store donuts in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. As with all homemade desserts, fresh is best and the longer they sit the more stale and dried out they become!

    How do I make vegan galaxy donuts?

    Simply replace the 1 egg with 1 flax egg. See the notes section in my recipe card below for how to make 1 flax egg for the donut batter. All other ingredients are vegan friendly!
