Equipment

Ingredients

Vegan Chocolate Donuts

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup vegan yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
  • ¾ cup water
  • Garnish: sprinkles, chopped nuts, coconut flakes

Chocolate Glaze

  • ½ cup dairy-free semi sweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar (or maple syrup)

Instructions

For the Vegan Chocolate Donuts

  • Heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Coat donut pan compartments with vegetable spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg.
    Cocoa powder has been mixed with flour and other dry ingredients and sits in the bottom of a glass mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl, stir together the yogurt, melted vegan butter, and water. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
    A hand pours melted butter over a cocoa powder base.
  • Spoon the batter into prepared donut pans. I measured approximately 4 tablespoons of batter per compartment.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until the donuts are done.

For the Chocolate Glaze

  • In the meantime, make the chocolate glaze by combining all the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir to coat the chocolate chips, then microwave for 30 seconds. Allow it to sit until the chocolate chips are melted. Stir until smooth and creamy. To make it thinner, add a teaspoon of vegan milk or creamer.
  • Dip cooled donuts in the chocolate glaze. Serve them as is or top with your favorite garnishes, such as chopped nuts or sprinkles.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Donut pans are different than muffin pans in that you can fill donut pans a little more. It will make for a more rounded finished donut.
