These super moist baked coconut donuts are the perfect summertime treat. I haven’t made donuts for a while, the last donut recipe I made was my  Vegan Pumpkin Donuts last year. I wanted to make a summertime donut before summer ended. This donut turned out to be quite a delicious treat!

Vegan Pineapple Coconut Donuts

To make these yummy vegan pineapple coconut donuts, which are also gluten-free, I used cornmeal and rice flour (white rice).

The cornmeal added a beautiful color to the donuts, plus I added crushed pineapples for pineapple flavor. Fresh coconut milk also added a delicious coconut flavor.

I ended up making 6 full-size donuts, I filled my pan with the batter without any problems, and they baked up perfectly.

I also made a Pineapple Coconut Glaze for Donuts that was so delicious, made with coconut milk, pineapple juice, and organic powder sugar.

There are many brands of organic powdered sugar on the market, like Wholesome Organic Confectioners Powdered Sugar. You can make your own by processing organic cane sugar in a high-speed blender.

How To Make Donuts Without A Donut Pan?

For this recipe, I used a Donut Baking Pan to make my donuts, that can be purchased online from Amazon. 

You can make donuts without a donut pan, all you will need is a muffin pan, some foil, and cooking spray. 

1. Roll pieces of foil shaping them in a cylinder. Make sure that the cylinders are tall, they should be at the top of the muffin pan. 
2. Spray the muffin pan and the foil cylinder with oil
3. Place the batter measuring cup or piping bag, gently squeeze the batter around the base of the cylinder. 
4. Bake the donuts for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack, then add the glaze.
