baked chocolate donuts

Baked chocolate donuts have a cake-like texture and a smooth chocolate glaze. They are ready in under 30 minutes!

Baked Chocolate Donuts

(125 g) all-purpose flour

(25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

baking soda

salt

espresso powder (optional)

egg (room temperature)

(100 g) granulated sugar

(80 ml) milk (room temperature)

(60 ml) plain, full-fat yogurt (room temperature)

(30 g) unsalted butter (melted)

vanilla extract

chocolate chips

heavy cream

unsalted butter

Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a donut tin with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.

Whisk dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder. Set aside.

Make donut batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until well combined. Add the milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated and smooth. Pour wet ingredients into bowl of dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

Bake donuts

Using a piping bag or a spoon, transfer the batter to the prepared donut tin, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Bake donuts at 350 F for 8 to 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one comes out with little to no crumbs. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a couple minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Make donut glaze

For the glaze, place the chocolate, heavy cream and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on 50% power level for one minute. Let the mixture sit for a couple minutes, then stir until smooth. If not smooth, heat for another 30 seconds on 50% power level.

Dip donuts in glaze

Dip the top of each donut in the chocolate glaze and place back on the wire rack to set. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.

These fluffy Chocolate Donuts are made in only one bowl and baked instead of fried! A yummy Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Oil-Free healthy treat.

One Bowl Chocolate Donuts

Cacao Powder

½ tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Baking Soda

Sea Salt

Flax “Eggs” (2 tbsp Ground Flax + 5 tbsp Water)

Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk

(130 grams) Unsalted Almond Butter

(75 grams) Coconut Sugar

tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

½ tsp Vanilla Extract

dairy-free Chocolate Chips, melted

Cacao Nibs, for sprinkling on top

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease two 6-donut tins. If you have silicone donut tins, you do not have to grease them.

Mix the blended Oat Flour, Cacao Powder, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and Salt together in a large bowl.  Form a well in the center of the bowl and add the remaining wet ingredients. Begin by mixing the wet ingredients together in the center of the bowl, then slowly incorporate the surrounding dry mix until a thick batter forms.

Evenly distribute the batter between 12 donut molds; I use these molds and a scant ¼ cup of batter for each. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let sit in the tray for 3 minutes, then carefully “wiggle” each tray to loosen the donuts and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before topping with Chocolate. Store leftovers at room temperature in a container with a loose-fitting lid for up to 5 days.

For the optional Chocolate Topping: melt your Chocolate chips in a small bowl with a flat bottom using either the microwave* or a double boiler. Use your hand to carefully “dunk” each Donut into the bottom of the bowl, then twist the Donut in the chocolate in a clockwise motion as you remove it (sort of like opening a doorknob). Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool until the Chocolate has set.

Quick, easy, and delicious!  I topped with peanut butter frosting made from PB powder &amp; water then added sprinkles!! So good!

Ahhhhh???? 
Can I use maple syrup instead of coconut sugar?

I made these last night and they were delicious! Thank you for the recipe. I made them as written with regular old fashioned oats that I blended. I read the recipe wrong and only added two teaspoons of flax to my flax egg mix instead of two tablespoons. I didn’t think it looked quite thick enough but wondered if that was because I used ground golden flax instead of regular flax. The donuts turned out fine though. The vegan chocolate chip “frosting” made these super delicious.

Chocolate donuts with chocolate chips and a chocolate glaze will wake you up in the morning.
