Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 doughnuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-cavity non-stick doughnut pan with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps remain and ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the doughnuts tough.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off to easily fill the doughnut pan cavities.
- Pipe the batter evenly into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or dip in melted chocolate for extra decadence.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense doughnuts, so be gentle!
- Use a Piping Bag: For easy and mess-free filling of the doughnut pan, transfer your batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. This will help you achieve perfectly shaped doughnuts.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your doughnuts while baking. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
- Cool Properly: Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them maintain their shape and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Once cooled, feel free to get creative! Dust with powdered sugar, dip in melted chocolate, or even drizzle with a glaze for an extra special touch.
