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 or any favorite vegan 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 oven to 350 degrees F.
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.
Spoon the batter into 14 to 16 silicone donut molds sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 25 minutes.
While donuts are baking, prepare the 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 sprinkles.

Notes

Storing leftovers: Store any leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 to 3 days. Keep them in the fridge and they will last up to one week, but this may start to make them dry.

Freezing: To freeze, place in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and top with frosting before serving!
