Description
Delicious gluten free chocolate donuts that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup 1:1 gluten free flour (recommended: Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable or canola oil (or another neutral oil)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
- 2–3 teaspoons hot water
- rainbow sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a standard sized donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup 1:1 gluten free flour, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together until combined. Then add 1/2 cup whole milk, 2 Tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk to form a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter between 8 wells of a donut pan, approximately 1/4 cup in each. You do not want to cover the middle that forms the donut hole. Tap the pan on the counter to help release some of the air bubbles.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean in the center. Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Combine 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, and 2 teaspoons light corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50%) power for 20 seconds and stir, repeating the 20 second intervals and stirring until the chocolate chips are melted. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the 2-3 teaspoons hot water, adding more a little at a time until smooth but still thick.
- Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and place on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles, if desired. Let set for at least 5 minutes before enjoying. You may have extra glaze.
Notes
- This recipe makes 8 donuts, so you may need to use two pans or work in batches.
