These vegan gluten free donuts are made in one bowl, so easy to make and topped with a simple chocolate frosting. These chocolate vegan donuts are sweetened with just pure maple syrup for a healthy treat!

Ingredients
Wet
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup apple sauce
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk I like soy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry
- ¾ cup oat flour
- 6 tablespoons almond flour
- 3 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Glaze
- ½ cup chocolate chips I like semi-sweet
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease 2, six cavity donut pans and set aside. This recipe makes 8 donuts, so you only need to grease 2 on the second pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients.
- Add in the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Transfer to your prepared donut pans, filling each almost to the top.
- Bake for 14-17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan, then flip onto a wire rack. They should fall right out, but tap the bottom of the pan if anything gets stuck.
- To make the frosting, add the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of milk to a bowl and melt in 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted.
- When the donuts have cooled, dip each in the icing, add sprinkles on top and place on a wire rack.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I like using soy milk in vegan/gluten free baked goods because the added protein adds a bit of rise. Any kind of non-dairy milk will work!
You can also make these into chocolate glazed donuts! Simply whisk 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar with 1/4 cup of milk and 1 teaspoons of vanilla. Dip each donut in the glaze once cool!
