Egg Free Doughnut Recipe
When I was pregnant we bought a new house and moved to a new town. Our new home is in walking distance of a fantastic little bakery. I had visions of getting up early on beautiful summer mornings and pushing Nick in the stroller to the bakery to get doughnuts. All of those thoughts came to an abrupt halt when we discovered Nick’s egg allergy. I no longer could dream of going to get my favorite weekend treat with my special little guy.
All was not lost though. You all know how I feel about finding a way for Nick to eat all types of foods. Enter my mother’s homemade doughnuts. She used to make them a lot when I was a kid, and they are totally egg free. These doughnuts are fairly easy to make, and they don’t take a lot of time. They are best when eaten right away. I did eat some the following day though, and they weren’t too bad. We had put each doughnut individually into a baggie and it went from a powder sugar doughnut to a glazed one.

Doughnuts are my fave too and what i love about it is that you dont need anoven to do it! We dont have an oven at home (Philippines) and but we were able to make doughnuts! This brings back memories. Thanks for sharing. #pinitparty
Oh my gosh, I want these right now!!!
Can’t wait to try it! I love egg-free recipes so my kiddo can eat stuff that other kids eat too.
do they last more than a day? can they keep for a few days or do you have to eat them right away
They are best fresh. That being said we had leftovers when we made them. I put each one that was left in it’s own baggie and then put them in the fridge. The powdered sugar glazed over, so when I ate the extras days later it was like eating a glazed doughnut.
This is awesome. I will definitely try it.
That sounds so easy and delicious… I must try this!

Looks delicious!
I’ve never tried this before. They look great!
In our home it’s my husband that’s a huge doughnut lover. I can take ’em or leave ’em. But I never thought about using biscuits to make them, though. Since they’re so easy, I’ll make these and surprise my hubby. 🙂
I hope he likes them :-).
I made regular donuts the other day. I am really interested in the eggless version, I have one child that gags at the sight of eggs.
We don’t even have an egg allergy but I’m so making this! Those look SO yummy!
They are so yummy. I bet your little guy will eat them right up.
You make this look easy!
Awww thanks Anne. I can’t really take the credit though because my mom did the cooking while I dealt with an unhappy and teething Nickm
I remember making doughnuts as a kid. This brings back memories.
Oh my gosh, so easy–I love it! For some reason, I thought doughnuts were much more complicated. 🙂
I’m sure bakeries have to put more work into them, but they really are quite simple.
They look so good!
They taste good too :-).
This is perfect for those with special diets! I really craved doughnuts when I was pregnant with my oldest. And pie, and biscuits, and just about every other baked sweet treat I can think of.
It really is!
Just seeing those takes me back to when I was a kid and my grandma made her homemade doughnuts. I really need to make these some day and just let myself drift back to the good ol days 🙂
It really took me back to my childhood when we had them.
Oh yes, they are good. Have not had one in a long time. I did make them when my kids where young. This brings back fond memories.
They were yummy :). Sadly Nick hasn’t been eating much of anything besides yogurt and Coco Wheats because of his teeth, so he didn’t get to enjoy them :(.
