Ingredients

  • Donut
  • • 2 cups gluten free flour
  • • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • • 3 tablespoons cocoa
  • • ½ teaspoon salt
  • • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • • ½ cup applesauce
  • • 2 eggs
  • • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • Glaze
  • • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • • 2 - 3 tablespoons almond milk (start with 2 then add as needed)
  • • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and lightly spray tin with cooking spray.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl – 2 cups gluten free flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 3 tablespoons cocoa and ½ teaspoon salt
  3. Mix all the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl – ½ cup plain greek yogurt, ½ cup applesauce, 2 eggs, ½ cup melted coconut oil, ½ cup pure maple syrup, and ¼ cup brown sugar.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and using a hand mixer, mix until batter is smooth.
  5. Use a spoon to delicately fill each donut tin. (Do not overfill; the batter will rise when in the oven.)
  6. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees, then bring the temperature down to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 7 minutes.
  7. Once donuts are done, let cool on a cooling rack.
  8. Spray the donut pan again and repeat the process until all the batter is used. (Don’t forget to turn the oven back up to 425 degrees)
  9. While waiting for the donuts to bake/cool. Make the frosting – using a hand mixer mix together 1½ cups powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons cacao, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons almond milk, add an additional 1 tablespoon almond milk, if the frosting is too thick (Be careful not to add too much making frosting runny.)
  10. Once donuts are cooled, coat the top with frosting by either flipping donut upside down in the bowl or by using a spatula. Enjoy!
