Breakfast this Sunday was the best I’ve had in a really long time. I mean, I knew this gluten-free diet would be hard, but I didn’t know so many things would come across my computer screen…But my day was totally made this Sunday and this is why. My friends, I would like to present to you the unofficialVegan & Gluten-Free Krispie Kreme Donut Holes Copycat Recipe. Love it, because, my lovelies, it’s for real and it’s that good.
I spend like half my life now on Pinterest…its like a relaxing hobby I can do when I’m out. There’s no way to color when you’re sitting in the car waiting for a drive-thru or killing time in a line at the DMV. But Pinterest? Yup. So, I’m hunting around the other day for cool things to pin and I found this awesome recipe for Copycat Krispie Kreme Donuts on one of my favorite blogs, DinnerThenDessert. I kind of fell in love a little, but it was all like a “normal” recipe. For “normal” people. Not for me. I was sad in a tiny little corner of myself…I really wanted those donuts. But I couldn’t resist. So, I modified the recipe and this was the awesome result. I love these donut holes. Because, my lovelies, it’s for real and it’s that good.
I would like to present to you the unofficial Vegan & Gluten-Free Krispie Kreme Donut Holes Copycat Recipe. Love it, because, my lovelies, it's for real and it's that good.
2 packages, about 4½ teaspoons total active dry yeast
4½ cups gluten-free flour blend, I used Bob's Redmill All Purpose
1 cup aquafaba, yus, bean juice
1¼ cups sugar
8 tablespoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons salt
4 cups vegetable oil for frying
Glaze
2½ cups powdered sugar
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup heavy corn syrup
Instructions
Start the day before you want to have these awesome donuts.
Stir the water and yeast together in a medium bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
Whisk in a cup of the flour (ish) until it's smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, then leave in a warm place for 45 minutes to rise or until it gets bubbly (which is hard to see through the towel, but check on it at like the 30 minute mark, then again every 5-ish minutes or so).
Combine the coconut oil and sugar in your stand mixer until thoroughly combined.
Place the aquafaba in the coconut oil and sugar mixture and mix well.
Add in the vanilla and salt. Mix well, too. Heh.
Now, you're going to want to swap your whisk for the paddle on your stand mixer.
Add the yeast mixture to the sugar mixture along with the rest of the flour, while your stand mixer is running. Allow to run until the flour is fully mixed in and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Place the dough in a large greased bowl covering with plastic wrap and a towel again.
Let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour (you can do 2, but there's not going to be much difference, honestly).
Remove the dough from the bowl and place in a zippered baggie, forcing all the air out before closing.
Refrigerate overnight.
Break off pieces of the dough, rolling them into 1/2-inch thick balls.
Cover with a damp paper towel and allow the donut holes to rest for 30-45 mins.
Heat the frying oil to a point where a tiny bit of dough placed in the center of the pan causes it to bubble and fry nicely..
Carefully fry the doughnut holes on each side for 90 seconds.
Place in a bowl over a paper towel to drain until all of the donut holes are cooked.
Make the glaze by putting all the ingredients together in a small bowl and whisking together until the mixture is smooth.
Dip each donut hole in the glaze and place on a wire rack to allow the glaze to harden.
Be careful as you stuff them in your face, because you might stuff too many and then you have to do a trip to the hospital...it's just a thing.

What is the secret to Krispy Kreme Donuts? The secret to Krispy Kreme doughnuts is of course the sweet glaze, and this is achieved by bathing the doughnuts in a glaze of icing sugar, vanilla extract and milk, for a thicker glaze increase the quantity of icing sugar by a few spoons.
Krispy Kreme, a popular doughnut chain, does not have a wide selection of gluten-free options. While they may occasionally introduce limited-time gluten-free doughnuts or products, they are not a regular part of their menu.
Salted Caramel, Caramel Iced Ring, Strawberry Iced Ring, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Custard doughnuts make up the new Krispy Kreme vegan range along with the fan favourite, Original Glazed.
A batch of original glazed starts with Krispy Kreme doughnut mix, water and yeast, the same single-cell fungi used to make bread rise. The yeast is what makes the original glazed so light -- it puffs the dough up with air, so it's not dense like a cake doughnut (more on this later).
The dough itself is made with sugar, and they are often coated or filled with sugary glazes or fillings. This high sugar content contributes to their sweet flavor. Glazing: One of Krispy Kreme's signature features is its glazed doughnuts. The glaze is made from a mixture of sugar, water, and other flavorings.
We use vegetable shortening (palm, soybean, and/or cottonseed and canola oil) for zero gram of trans fat per one serving of doughnut. All monoglycerides and diglycerides are vegetable based. Enzymes are also present.
There are some frozen brands of gluten-free doughnuts available, but it's not nearly the same. Sometimes you just have that impulsive need to buy a fresh doughnut.
For individuals suffering from celiac disease, however, biting into that donut can have serious medical consequences. Celiac disease is a hereditary autoimmune disorder in which consuming the gluten protein gliadin triggers inflammation of the small intestine.
With the vegan Krispy Kreme doughnuts, at least, the ingredient list is quite long. The doughnut itself contains a wheat flour base, made from wheat flour, calcium carbonate iron, niacin and thiamin.Water, dextrose, palm oil, yeast, salt and wheat gluten are next on the list.
There are two chocolate varieties: first, the Choc Custard Doughnut, hand-dipped in chocolate icing, with a filling of vanilla custard. Second is the Fudge Brownie Bliss, with a Belgian chocolate filling.
The answer? Yes and no! Whilst traditional donuts are not vegan due to containing eggs, milk and butter, non-traditional versions such as those offered by popular bakeries and vegan brands are!
In truth, though, many donuts with holes don't actually have any dough cut out of them to make their shape. Instead, special machines spray dough into a fryer in a circular pattern. The donut holes you buy at the bakery or grocery store are usually made out of dough simply cut into small squares!
Purchased cake flour will yield light and delicate doughnuts like the ones from the bakery. DIY substitutions don't really cut it, and AP flour will not create doughnuts with that same soft texture. Also, bleached cake flour will work best.
One donut has a quarter of all of the saturated fat you should have in a day. DUH, donuts are bad for you. But do you know just how bad? An original Krispy Kreme donut has 11 grams of fat—5 of those being saturated—while a Dunkin' original donut has 6 gram of saturated fat (30 percent of your fat intake).
Sugar Content: Krispy Kreme doughnuts contain a relatively high amount of sugar. The dough itself is made with sugar, and they are often coated or filled with sugary glazes or fillings. This high sugar content contributes to their sweet flavor. Glazing: One of Krispy Kreme's signature features is its glazed doughnuts.
Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and began selling its Krispy Kreme doughnuts on July 13, 1937 to local grocery stores.
We like to keep it natural and original here at Krispy Kreme, therefore we do not use artificial colours within any of our core products. We are currently reviewing our ingredients and removing any artificial flavourings where possible.
