Gluten-Free Chocolate Donuts Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Donuts:

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (ensure it’s xanthan gum inclusive or add 1/4 teaspoon)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
  -1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free milk alternative)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar (gluten-free)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free milk alternative)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
   • Grease a donut pan well to ensure the donuts do not stick.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Make Donut Batter:
   • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Fill Donut Pan:
   • Spoon the batter into the donut pan or use a piping bag to fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full.
6. Bake the Donuts:
   • Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
   • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring the donuts onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare Chocolate Glaze:
   • Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder together to remove any lumps.
   • Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. If too thick, add more milk one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
8. Glaze the Donuts:
   • Once donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the chocolate glaze, swirling slightly to get a good coat.
   • Set back on the wire rack and let the glaze set.
9. Serve:
   • Serve up your gluten-free chocolate donuts and enjoy! They’re perfect for a sweet breakfast treat or an anytime snack.
