Easy and Delicious Vegan Donuts Made with Chocolate and Espresso
These chocolate vegan donuts are perfect for making year round and make for a yummy breakfast treat!
With a total prep time of only 20 minutes, there's no excuse to not make these chocolate glazed, vegan donuts. In addition to being vegan, this recipe calls for using 1:1 gluten free flour which is great for friends and family who may have a gluten intolerance. We've also snuck in a bit of espresso powder into these baked donuts. We at Pascha believe that espresso and chocolate are undoubtedly a match made in heaven!
A few things to keep in mind
- Make sure your donut pan is generously prepared with coconut oil or a non-stick cooking spray. This will assist with an easy release of the donuts.
- We recommend using a spoon, cookie scoop or a piping bag for a mess-free (or almost mess-free) way to pour your batter into the prepared donut pan.
- Sift your dry ingredients together. This is especially helpful beause gluten free flour tends to be on the clumpier side. This technique will also make it easier to incorporate into your other ingredients.
