Eggless donut/ doughnut is one such soft, fluffy, yummy and are very easy to make fried dessert food and sometimes consumed as breakfast too. Donuts are usually prepared with eggs, flour and yeast as base ingredients but this time I wanted to make eggless donuts just to make it possible for everyone to make.

I have already posted an eggless donut recipe earlier but that one is baked version so thought to post a fried version on the same as well for long time but never happened for some reason.

Now that shops are closed as it lockdown and we were really craving for donuts and this recipe came to my mind and decided to post the same for the blog as well. These eggless donuts turned out super light and yum. In this recipe I have made basic donuts the sugar and cinnamon coated one but in future I will try to post variety of donuts.

Many of us think donuts/ doughnuts are so hard to make at home but from the picture you can tell how soft and fluffy it turned out. The ingredients for this soft and fluffy doughnut are pantry friendly and all you need is some rest time for the dough to double in size/ proof. And we all have that enough time at home and our family as well to relish these fresh and warm.

We all need a push button to get these things done and I am sure this lockdown is surely a thing which has allowed many to experiment various dishes from the blog/ from internet sources and many thanks for the pictures and appreciation.

So let’s get to the making of eggless doughnut!
