Grapefruit Donuts

These donuts are hit the spot. Grapefruit Donuts are light, citrusy and generously coated in a crunchy, orange zest infused glaze. Oh come on.! I know you need one more donut in your life today.

Raw, Vegan Grapefruit donuts made with gluten-free oats, shredded coconut, buckwheat and a decadent orange coconut butter frosting, but I think a chocolate frosting would be just as good. Totally up to you, what you’re in the mood for. You could also top the donuts with orange zest, I did for a few and it was perfect. These Grapefruit Donuts come with little to zero cleaning up and simple ingredients that are probably in your cupboard right now. Do I have your attention?

Grapefruit donuts are the perfect morning treat! Healthy, sweet and tangy, bursting with bright grapefruit and orange flavor, inside and out – oh so decadent! But if you think the flavor sounds weird, it’s totally worth a try. Think of all the citrus cakes out there – donuts are no different. Oh yes!! And the glaze is probably one of the best part of the donut … so clearly, they’re DELICIOUS. I hope you’ll love them as much as we do!
