Bite into a vegan doughnut from Love Lou Lou

The words ‘doughnut’ and ‘healthy’ are seldom found in the same sentence without the pesky inclusion of ‘are not’ wedged in between. One local company, Love Lou Lou, is out to change that with its range of baked vegan doughnuts.


As Gold Coast doughnut stores battle it out for the most absurd and sugar-loaded creation, Love Lou Lou has gone the other way to create a range of dairy-free, gluten-free and guilt-free doughnuts. The secret to Love Lou Lou’s delectable handfuls of happiness is that they are baked, not fried, so they’re kinder on the waistline and then topped with delicious organic, ethically sourced goodies such as cookie crumble, peanut butter (the healthy kind) and salted caramel. In fact, Love Lou Lou offers more than 20 amazing varieties to have you salivating.

The handcrafted baked delights are the work of Gold Coast mumtrepreneurs, Jo Milquin and Tanya Epis, who have spent countless hours baking, testing and eating doughnuts to ensure their gluten-free goodies can rival regular doughy doughnuts in terms of texture and taste. Don’t take our word for it, try them for yourself at Tribeca NYC in Chevron Island and Flannerys Refuel Depot at Robina.
