Eggless doughnuts recipe with step by step pictures. Delicious soft and chocolate glazed donuts recipe which taste so soft and fluffy.
Eggless Doughnuts Recipe
It is doughnuts time. It is my favourite and i can never stop making new donuts recipes whenever i get time. I have already shared quite a few recipe in my blog.
Making homemade donuts are always on my to do list. Couple weeks back, on a fine evening i was craving so badly for them. But i had no eggs on hand. So i browsed a little and came up with this recipe. It is super easy to make and tasted do divine. You must try this someday, it is addictive.
When i finished making this donuts, i decided to do a simple glaze. Then i discovered that i was out of icing sugar. So i made a cooked chocolate glaze for it. I was not sure how this will turn out, so i didn't take step by step pictures of it. But luckily it tasted divine. I have given that recipe along with a simple chocolate sauce recipe which needs only mixing few stuff together in this. You can choose whatever you feel like.
I was quite surprised how the eggless recipe turned out so good. I will soon post the traditional recipe of making this with eggs soon and also the lots of topping and glaze to go with it. Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out for you.

Alternative of yeast pls....
Aarthi
@AnonymousSorry no alternative
Anonymous
hi I tried making them.
but after putting the yeast it did settle for 15mins.
even the dough did not rise and donuts turned a bit hard.
where did i go wrong?
Aarthi
@Anonymous I think something went wrong with activating yeast.
For activating yeast,
1)Use very very warm water or milk and add yeast to it. If you add yeast to hot water or milk,then it will kill the yeast and it wont activate.
2) If you use cold water or milk, then yeast wont activate.
3)You need to add little sugar with yeast, because yeast needs some sweetness to activate.
Just try it again and let me know.

@Anonymousno yeast is a must in this recipe. It makes this soft and helps to rise them.
Fariza Marzook
I dnt knw whr I went wrong. My dough is not rising. 🙁
Fariza Marzook
I dnt knw whr I went wrong. My dough is not rising. 🙁
Aarthi
@Fariza MarzookIt is because of the yeast. There may be these reason.
1)The yeast may be expired. Get a new one.
2)You must have added too hot water so the yeast has died.
3)You must have added too cold water, so the yeast is not activated.

Hi I HV tried or doughnut recipe n it has cm out well. Once the drought didn't ris at all probably bcoz the yeast didn't activate. Thx
Aarthi
@simmiu must have added too cold water or too hot water. Always make sure your yeast is bubbly before adding it into the flour

Can I use instant yeast?! If so.. How many tsp should I use?

@Anonymousi feel it is good. you can add little by little and knead it

You know, it's strange that I used every single step as you mentioned but the dough didn' rise.. The only doubt I have is with the yeast.. You haven't mentioned if it was regular yeast or dry active yeast.. Would that make a difference? (Just so you know, I used dry active yeast)..
Aarthi
@AnonymousIf the dough didn't rise it is because of the yeast. You must have added cold water to it so the yeast is not activated. or you have added too hot water which killed the yeast

Shalini Nair
Hi Aarthi,
Thank you for your fantastic recipes. I have a severe allergy to eggs and am glad to have found your recipe for eggless donuts. I just have one doubt, in this recipe you have mentioned using 1 1/2 tsp of Dry yeast for 3 cups of flour, but in your other eggless donut recipe (linked in this recipe) you have mentioned using 1 tablespoon of yeast for 3 cups of flour. Which is the correct ratio for dry yeast to flour?
Aarthi
@Shalini Nairit depends on each recipe
Anonymous
arthi
kindly mentionen in tblsp of yeast... i couldnot understand the 11/2 portion
Aarthi
@Anonymousit is 1/2 a tblspn of yeast

I tried it with 1 cup of maida and 2 cups of atta and it came out so well. Tasted great. Thank you for recipe.
Ankita
I just made donuts from your recipe. Super yummy in taste. Loved it totally by my kids and hubby.
Rajani Menon
Hi. I have tried many of your recipes earlier which came out very well. But with the doughnut recipe i failed.
My doughnut was hard...& second problem which i faced was, as soon as i put the batter for frying, it used to turn brown in colour. It gets cooked from outside but the inside is partially cooked. What could be the reason? The oil was not hot. I tried to redo it by keeping at the lowest temp but still the same.
One of your recipe mentions to use baking powder. Which one is softer? with or without baking powder.
Looking forward to your reply.
Aarthi
@Rajani Menonyou are cooking it in high flame, just cook it in moderate flame. doughnut with yeast makes soft ones.

I have a doubt here.. is there any difference between dry yeast and normal yeast? or is it necessary to purchase dry yeast for this recipe?
Aarthi

I think my milk was too much than needed. I didn't pour the whole thing into the maida? Should iI?I don't want to add more maids and increase the quantity. But will it rise enough as the rest of yeast is in other half of the milk? I
I'm a big fan of your Indian food. I never knew you were a masterchef I'm preparing for my sons 1zt birthday and really wanted to make donuts. I'm done having tried two recipes and failed. Accidentally came across your site.
