Soft Lemon Donuts: Egg-free Softness Ready in Two Minutes!
If you are looking for a dessert that is synonymous with lightness, speed, and citrus freshness, you are in the right place. Today, we share with you the recipe for our Soft Lemon Donuts, a true gem of homemade pastry: delicate and super soft, they are the most exquisite way to pamper yourself at any time of the day.
These little donuts are a tribute to lemon, with its lively fragrance emanating from the dough and filling the kitchen with an incredible aroma.
They are the perfect choice for an energizing breakfast and total comfort, or for an afternoon snack that breaks the monotony with a touch of zest.
But the real revolution of this recipe lies in its extreme simplicity and its composition: all you need to know is that to prepare the dough, you don’t have to spend more than two minutes! Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix, and you’re done. No need for electric mixers or long preparations.
Moreover, these donuts are designed for everyone, they are egg-free. A detail that makes them not only lighter and more digestible but also ideal for those following a vegan diet (if you use plant-based milk) or for those with intolerances. Their incredible softness is not at all affected by the absence of eggs; in fact, they are even airier and less “heavy” on the palate. A texture that melts in the mouth and will remain unchanged for days if stored in an airtight container.
If you are looking for the perfect combination of taste, aroma, and speed…you’ve found your ideal dessert! Come with me, let’s start baking.

Ingredients for Lemon Donuts
If you don’t have a donut mold you can safely use the muffin one (the small ones). With these measurements, you get about 12 donuts.
I used half spelt flour and half rice flour, but you can easily use all-purpose flour if you prefer.
- 1 cup flour (I used half spelt flour and half rice flour)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 3 tbsps lemon juice
Steps for Lemon Donuts
Take a bowl and pour in the flour, sugar, and baking powder,
add the vegetable oil, water a little at a time, alternating with the lemon juice, until all the liquids are used up.
Mix with a hand whisk for a few minutes.
Bake at 340 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, always do the toothpick test
Once this time has passed, let cool, remove from molds, and dust with powdered sugar.
I hope you enjoyed these quick donuts, see you for the next recipe😘
Storage
Donuts keep at room temperature, covered by a glass dome or inside a container, for up to three days.
