Key Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe, including substitution ideas:
- Flax Egg: I find the flax egg to be the perfect donut egg substitute. You can also use a chia seed egg.
- Biscoff Cookies: These iconic cookies add a unique flavor and texture to the donuts. Look for them in the cookie aisle of your grocery store.
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: I like whole wheat pastry flour for its nutrition, but you can substitute all-purpose flour for similar results.
- Vegan Butter: Opt for a dairy-free alternative available in the baking section.
- Plant-Based Milk: Choose your favorite variety, such as almond, soy, or even oat-based milk.
- Vegan Creamer: Coconut milk or vegan half and half work well for a creamy glaze.

Frequently-Asked Questions
Can I use a different plant-based milk in this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute almond milk with your preferred plant-based milk, such as soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
Can I make these donuts gluten-free?
Yes, you can. Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, so experiment to find the perfect mix for your taste.
Tips for Perfect Vegan Biscoff Donuts
- Freshness Matters: For the best flavor and texture, enjoy the donuts on the day they are baked. If saving for later, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Play with Glaze Consistency: Adjust the thickness of the Biscoff glaze to your liking. For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner one, increase the amount of plant-based milk.
- Customize Your Toppings: Elevate your donut game by adding crushed Biscoff cookies, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the glaze.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve your warm Biscoff Donuts with a scoop of vegan vanilla or caramel-flavored ice cream. The warm-cold contrast creates a heavenly combination, and the creamy texture of the ice cream complements the fluffy donuts.
- Coffee or Tea: Pair your Biscoff Donuts with a steaming cup of your favorite plant-based coffee or tea. The warmth of the beverage enhances the indulgent experience, making it a perfect morning or afternoon treat.
- Dairy-Free Yogurt Parfait: Cut the donut in half, then layer it with dairy-free soy yogurt, granola, and sliced bananas or other fruits. These textures and flavors add a tasty twist to your donut experience.
- Chocolate Sauce Drizzle: Drizzle a decadent vegan chocolate sauce on top of the donuts.
- Nuts and Seeds: Sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds, such as almonds, pecans, or chia seeds, on top of the donuts. This not only adds a satisfying crunch but also boosts the nutritional profile.
Remember to consider the flavors and textures you enjoy the most, then mix and match to find your favorites!
Storage Tips
Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Biscoff Donuts
Ingredients
- 1 flax egg
- 6 biscoff cookies
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour (substitute all-purpose)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ½ cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Caramel Glaze
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegan creamer (see notes)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- Optional: Add more biscoff crumbles on the donuts after icing them.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C and coat a regular-sized donut pan with vegetable spray.
- Prepare the flax egg and set it aside.
- Use a rolling pin to crumble the cookies into a fine crumb, but leaving some texture.
- Add the flour, cookie crumbles ,brown sugar, spice, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Heat vegan butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 30 seconds, until the butter is melted. Stir in the flax egg, milk, and vinegar.
- Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
- Stir until just combined. It should be a thick batter without lumps.
- Use a tablespoon to carefully distribute the batter into the donut compartments, filling them generously and equally. Use 3 tablespoons of batter per compartment for smaller donuts and 4 tablespoons of batter for thicker donuts. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until the donuts are done.
For the Glaze
- Heat vegan butter, brown sugar, and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Stir and boil for around 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes, then add the powdered sugar and stir to combine. This glaze will thicken as it sits, so be prepared to stir in another tablespoon of cream as needed.
Glazing Donuts
- Once the donuts are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once they're cool enough to handle, and the glaze has cooled enough so it won't burn your fingers, dip the top part of each donut in the caramel icing. Optional: Top donuts with biscoff cookies or crumbles.
