Healthy Carrot Cake Baked Homemade Donuts Recipe made from only ten ingredients and ready in 15 minutes. Vegan and Gluten Free.

I received this Wilton Six Hole Doughnut Tin  for my birthday a few weeks ago. Since then I have been obsessed with all the endless donut flavour combinations I could make. Starting with these healthy carrot cake baked donuts!

They are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and refined sugar-free.  I frosted mine using cashew cream but they are so tasty on their own that I actually prefer them without.

Baking donuts is so much healthier then the typical method, although they taste just as good! Made from just 10 easy ingredients they are ready in only 15 minutes. Naturally gluten free and vegan.
