Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, glaze or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
