Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour (125g)
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder (22g) Unsweetened
- ½ cup White Granulated Sugar (100g)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ cup Soy Milk (180ml) or other non-dairy milk
- 2 Tablespoons Applesauce
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil Melted
- 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips (175g) or Chopped Vegan Chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
For Decorating:
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray two donut trays with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix together.
- Add soy milk, applesauce, coconut oil, vinegar and vanilla and whisk with a hand whisk briefly to remove any lumps. Don't overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly amongst the donut partitions on the two donut trays. The easiest way to do this is to put the batter into a piping bag and then divide it evenly that way. Or you can use a spoon but it does get a little messy.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one of the donuts comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before adding the chocolate topping.
- Melt the chocolate by placing it in a microwave safe bowl along with the coconut oil and heating in 30 second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30 seconds until completely melted.
- Dip the donuts into the melted chocolate and then place them onto a parchment lined baking tray. Use a teaspoon to add the sprinkles. When all the donuts are done, move the tray into the fridge briefly for the chocolate topping to set.
Notes
- Weigh your flour for the most accurate results, or use the spoon and level method for measuring flour using cups. Spoon it into your measuring cup and then level off the top with a knife. Don't scoop the flour or pack it into the cup.
- You can switch the melted coconut oil for a different oil if you prefer.
- The chocolate can either be vegan chocolate chips or any nice tasting vegan chocolate that you can just melt down for the topping.
