Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped mixed nuts
- 0.25 cup Vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar and let it sit for a minute to curdle, creating a vegan buttermilk.
Stir in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the vegan buttermilk mixture until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips and half of the chopped mixed nuts, reserving the rest for topping.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare a glaze if desired or simply sprinkle the remaining chopped nuts over the top of the donuts for garnish before serving.
