Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Buttermilk, room temperature
• 2 units Large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

Add the melted butter to the batter and fold it in until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.

Step 10

Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 11

Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the chocolate glaze. Let any excess glaze drip off before placing the donuts back on the wire rack.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
