Ingredients

For the donuts:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup plain almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp plain almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 6-count donut pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the donut pan. Bake at 350 degrees F on the center rack for 13-16 minutes, or until a toothpick pulls clean from the donuts. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar and milk in bowl. Use enough milk to reach a smooth glaze consistency.
  7. When the donuts have cooled completely, dunk them in the glaze on both sides of the donut. Place them back on the cooling rack, and place a baking sheet under the cooling rack to catch drips. Let sit for about 30 minutes so the glaze sets, then enjoy.
