Vegan Chocolate Baked Donuts
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
Wet ingredients
- 2/3 cup soya milk
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
For the glaze
- 80 g chocolate spread, melted
- 50 g roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a donut baking tray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients. Then, add the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- Transfer the batter into a small milk jug and pour into the donut tray, dividing it evenly between the 6 donut wells.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted to the centre comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes before transferring onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before decorating.
- To decorate the donuts, transfer the chocolate spread into a small bowl or a plate. Microwave until runny. Dip each donut into the melted choc spread then carefully lift the donut back out. Sprinkle with chopped roasted hazelnuts. Repeat with all 6 donuts. Leave to set for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
