- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal
- 6 tablespoons warm water
- 1 1/2 cup gluten free flour all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup unsweetened dairy free milk of choice (I use So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/3 cup avocado oil (refined coconut oil works as well)
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips)
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (or coconut oil)
- 1st Step
Preheat your oven: 375°F.
- 2nd Step
In a small bowl, add flax seed and warm water and stir to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes to firm up.
- 3rd Step
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar.
- 4th Step
To your flax seed mixture, add maple syrup, milk, vanilla, and avocado oil. Stir to combine.
- 5th Step
Add wet ingredients to the large bowl of dry ingredients and mix well.
- 6th Step
Use a piping bag to add the mixture to the greased donut pan.
- 7th Step
Place the donuts in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- 8th Step
After a few minutes of cooling, transfer to donuts to a cooling rack.
- 1st Step
Once the donuts have cooled completely, add the chocolate chips and avocado oil to a microwave-safe bowl.
- 2nd Step
Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each time until the chocolate is melted.
- 3rd Step
Place a sheet of parchment paper under your cooling rack. Dip each donut into the chocolate and place back on the cooling rack so the chocolate can firm up.
- 4th Step
To make this process go faster, you can put the donuts on a tray or plate and place them in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is firm.
