Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup Vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a doughnut pan.
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle, creating vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the vegan buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated to form a smooth batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to ensure they rise nicely but do not overflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a medium bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk until smooth. If you desire a thicker glaze, adjust the milk quantity.
Once the doughnuts are completely cooled, dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze. Let the excess glaze drip off before placing them back on the wire rack.
If using, sprinkle vegan chocolate chips over the freshly glazed doughnuts for an extra burst of chocolate goodness.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan chocolate glazed doughnuts!
