Vegan Baked Donuts with Chocolate Glaze
If you’ve always thought of donuts as the ultimate unhealthy treat, I come bearing excellent news. These vegan baked donuts with chocolate glaze have under 200 calories per donut, are low in fat, and made with all plant-based ingredients.
ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅔ cup plant-based milk (I used almond milk)
- 2 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup vegan dark chocolate, melted
instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). If you're not using a non-stick muffin tin, lightly grease the donut pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
- In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just evenly mixed.
- Portion the batter evenly among the 6 donut moulds, filling them almost all the way up.
- Bake for 13 minutes, until the donuts have risen and a toothpick inserted in to one comes out clean. Take the tin out of the oven and allow to cool or about 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.
- In the meantime, prepare the glaze by melting the chocolate. Place the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and heat it in 15 second intervals, stirring between each one.
- Remove the donuts from the pan, place them on a cooling rack and frost them with melted chocolate.
notes
