Easy bake coconut lime donuts

These easy baked donuts are made with both coconut milk and shredded coconut, scented with lime zest and dunked in a sweet coconut lime glaze. If you have ever been intimidated by making donuts, this is the perfect recipe for you.

You do not need a fryer to make them just a donut pan, I use this silicone donut mold. The batter comes together quickly, and the donuts can be ready from start to finish in under an hour!

How to make these easy baked donuts

  1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl

  2. Mix the wet ingredients together in a bowl

  3. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together

  4. Pipe into a donut mold

  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes

  6. Cool and top with glaze

Tips on making these donuts perfectly

Do not over mix the batter, mix the wet and dry ingredients just until they are combined. Over mixing will result in a tough and chewy donut.

These donuts are best enjoyed the day they are made.

Cool the donuts completely before glazing, or the glaze will melt and will not stick to the donut.

Using full fat coconut milk is best for this recipe
