Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about half full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched lightly.
Remove donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and powdered sugar, stirring until smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, then sprinkle generously with chopped mixed nuts.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your indulgent yet gluten-free chocolate donuts!
