What’s the easiest way to fill vegan cream filled donuts?
The easiest way to fill a vegan donut is to use the end of a chopstick or a small metal funnel tip. Move it around to break up the dough inside.
Then use the tip or a rough piping tip with piping bag to fill the donuts. Pull out as you fill until it’s no longer inserted.
How can I fill vegan donuts without a piping tip?
It’s not as easy, but it is possible.
- You could tip a small tip off a zipped sandwich bag and try your best to get it directly into the hole
- Another option would be to use a straw inside a sandwich bag like a piping tip
Can I make these vegan donuts Top 8 Allergen friendly?
There is flour, dairy free milk, and coconut milk in this recipe. If you are completely Top 8 Free, use an alternative dairy free milk like oat or hemp for this recipe. You could also use water.
For the coconut milk in the frosting, we would just recommend finding a strawberry frosting suitable to your allergens.
We cannot recommend a gluten free flour to use with this dough at this time.
How long are Strawberry Fried Vegan Donuts good for?
These fried vegan strawberry doughnuts will last for up to 2 days when stored in an air tight container.
Best if warmed for 10-15 seconds if not eating immediately.
They can be stored at room temperature and do not need to be refrigerated.

Vegan Strawberry Cream Filled Donuts
Ingredients
For the dough
- 3 ½ – 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat)
- 1 package instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups dairy free milk (we like oat – can use any non-strongly flavored dairy free milk or even water if needed)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (can sub for agave or vegan cane sugar)
For the strawberry frosting
- ¼ cup strawberry puree, see instructions (about 2-3 large strawberries)
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- ½ cup dairy free butter, COLD
- 1 ½ teaspoon strawberry extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, yeast, and salt.
- Then, add in the dairy free milk and maple syrup.
- Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.
- Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl. *If you are oil free, then just make sure sides of bowl are floured, or use a silicone bowl to easily get it out
- Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place until doubled.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to be about a quarter of an inch thick. Then using a donut cutter or a 3" biscuit cutter, cut out your donut shapes.
- If using a biscuit cutter, find a smaller cap or lid to cut out a center for your donut.
- **Since we are stuffing these do not cut a hole in the middle.
- Fold dough back up and then roll out again to cut out more dough until no more exists.
- Place each cut out on a baking sheet and then cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil up to 330-350 degree F.
- Fry for about 30-45 seconds or until golden brown on each side.
- Carefully remove donuts from hot oil and place on a cooling rack with a sheet pan under it to catch the oil or a towel lined plate.
- Repeat until all donuts are cooled.
For the Frosting
- While waiting for donuts to cool, make your strawberry filling.
- Make strawberry puree by blending the fresh strawberries into a food processor or mixer. Blend until small bits remain.
- In a mixing bowl, add the dairy free butter. *Butter needs to be cold for this to work well. Cream the butter just until it starts to break apart.
- Add in half the powdered sugar and beat again.
- Add in strawberry puree and extract. Beat again.
- Add in the remaining powdered sugar and blend again until well combined.
- Use a piping bag and a narrow piping tip fill the inside of the doughnut, pulling back as it fills until it's out. Repeat with all doughnuts.
- Serve immediately or let cool to room temperature and store in an air tight container for up to 2 days.
