Ingredients
Vegan Chocolate Donuts
- 1 ⅓ cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
- 2 tablespoon 4th of July Sprinkles
Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 tablespoon melted vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, hand mix the almond milk, melted vegan butter, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla. Then, whisk in cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the flour until smooth, be careful not to over-mix or the vegan donuts will become dense.
- Spoon the vegan chocolate donut batter into 14-16 silicon donut molds sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 25 minutes.
- While donuts are baking, prepare your vegan chocolate buttercream frosting using an electric hand mixer. Mix the powdered sugar, almond milk, cocoa powder, vegan butter, and vanilla.
- Remove the donuts from the molds and allow them to cool before frosting and topping with your 4th of July sprinkles!

I didn't have the doughnut mold so I made the batter into cupcakes and they turned out great! I ate two right out of the oven.
Jillian says

Will the buttercream harden on top of the donuts?
Jillian says
Eventually, yes!

Does the icing harden??
Jillian says
Slightly over time but it still stays pretty moist.
