Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your donuts will bake evenly and rise properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as there are no dry patches visible.
- Once the batter is combined, fold in the vegan chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Lightly grease a donut pan with vegetable oil or use a non-stick spray to prevent the donuts from sticking.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully fill each donut cavity in the pan about 2/3 full with the batter. This allows room for the donuts to rise without overflowing.
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the donut pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then, gently remove the donuts from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For an extra touch, you can melt some additional vegan chocolate chips and drizzle them over the cooled donuts or dip the tops in the melted chocolate before serving.
- Serve your delicious baked vegan double chocolate donuts warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to dense donuts.
- Use a Piping Bag: For a mess-free filling process, use a piping bag to fill the donut cavities. This helps ensure even distribution and prevents overflow.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your donuts at the 12-minute mark. They’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cooling Time: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them maintain their shape and prevents sticking.
- Add Toppings: For an extra touch of decadence, melt some vegan chocolate chips to drizzle over your cooled donuts or dip the tops for a chocolatey finish.
- Storage: Keep any leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm again!
