Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon natural red food coloring (optional)
- 0.25 cup canola oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, unsweetened applesauce, coconut milk, distilled white vinegar, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, and natural red food coloring if using.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a sealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off, and pipe it into the prepared donut pan, filling each well about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when gently pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with the almond milk until smooth and desired consistency is achieved.
Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the top of each donut into the glaze and let the excess drip off. Allow glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
