chocolate chip donuts

These Vegan Double Vanilla Chocolate Chip Donuts are so light, fluffy and easy to make! They are just 8 ingredients, made in 1 bowl, are oil-free and have a richness thanks to 2 forms of vanilla. The combo of yogurt and applesauce gives just the right amount of moisture.

Vegan Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts

(20 grams) potato starch

baking soda

salt

(60 grams) unsweetened applesauce

(160 grams) pure maple syrup

(10 grams) vanilla extract

chocolate chips

(15 grams) yogurt

optional: tiny bit of milk

I use this donut pan.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a regular size 6 donut nonstick pan with nonstick spray. It makes 8 donuts, so you will only be making 6 at first, so don't use all of the batter for the 6. If making as muffins, line a muffin pan with 8 liners. I recommend the Reynolds "Staybrite" foil liners because they never stick.

To a large bowl, add the spelt flour, potato starch, baking soda and salt and whisk very well to ensure no lumps.

To the same bowl, add the yogurt, applesauce, syrup, vanilla and chocolate chips. Gently stir and fold the ingredients just until it all comes together and is smooth, making sure to fold from the bottom too. Be careful not to over-mix the batter so the donuts don&#x27;t turn out tough. Refer to video for how the texture should look. It should be similar to a fairly thick muffin batter.

With a small spoon, smooth the tops of the batter so they are all flat and even. This will ensure they rise and bake evenly.

Carefully spoon the batter into the donut pan or 8 muffin liners. If making muffins, top with a few extra chocolate chips. I used a 6 regular size donut pan so I could only bake 6 at first. Bake the donuts for just 12 minutes, 15-18 minutes for muffins (my muffins took exactly 18). These cook really fast since they are low-fat. They should have risen beautifully and have a golden color. Check the toothpick at 12 minutes for it to be clean. Do not over-bake or it will dry them out.

Remove from the oven and leave them in the pan for just 5 minutes, then flip over to cool completely on a cooling rack.

Once the donuts/muffins are cooled, prepare the chocolate drizzle. To a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and yogurt. Heat for 30 seconds and stir until it all melts and is completely smooth and runny. Heat for a few more seconds if necessary. This combo gives a nice thick drizzle as seen in the pictures and firms up. If you want a thinner drizzle, add a touch of milk. It will be too thick to drizzle with a spoon, so add the chocolate to a baggy and cut the corner off. Drizzle each donut. Alternatively, you could spread some chocolate on the donuts with the back of a spoon. It only makes enough to drizzle the donuts, so if you prefer a fully coated donut for the tops, double the chocolate sauce.

These tender, fluffy Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts are melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The perfect vegan, gluten-free, &amp; nut-free dessert or morning treat.

Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts

baking powder

sea salt

(110 g) cane sugar

(120 g) tahini (I only use this one)

(83 g) unsweetened applesauce

vanilla extract

(180 ml) + 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk (I used soy)

(3 ounces; 85 g) mini vegan chocolate chips

Prep: 

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease or spray your donut moulds with nonstick cooking spray.

Dry Ingredients: 

whisk the oat flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Wet Ingredients

in a separate bowl, combine the sugar, tahini, applesauce, vanilla, and non-dairy milk. Mix until the sugar is dissolved, then add to the dry ingredients and mix well, until no clumps of flour are left. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips

Bake: 

Evenly distribute the batter among your donut mould (mine fit around 1/4 cup of batter in 12 donuts), then place in the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20-22 minutes, then remove from the oven and let set in the moulds for 5-10 minutes before removing. Cool completely on a baking rack; leftovers will keep at room temperature, in a container with a loose-fitting lid, for up to 3 days.

Perfect Sunday morning treat! They came out perfectly and I melted some chocolate chips to dip them into and they were a hit!
