These soft no yeast donuts contain all the flavors of carrot cake. The dough is just 3 ingredients and you can have fresh soft and fluffy carrot cake donuts in just a few minutes.
Mix self-rising flour, applesauce and shredded carrots together until a sticky dough forms.
Frying Method Heat oil, then using a cookie scoop, gently release dough into the oil. Cook until donuts are medium brown and fully cooked on the inside.
Air Fryer Method Scoop the dough and place them 1 inch apart in an air fryer basket, then cook for about 5 minutes in a preheated air fryer.
Oven Method Scoop the dough onto a prepared pan, 1 inch apart, and bake for about 12 minutes, just until the inside is cooked.
Top with a simple glaze with chopped pecans and grated carrots
ENJOY!
The carrots should be finely/thinly shredded. I used the small holes on my box grater.
These carrot cake donuts are so fun and cute. They are great for breakfast, brunch or dessert.
