Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients, and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.

Step 7

Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, glaze or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
