Equipment
- Spray oil
Ingredients
Mini Chocolate Donuts
- 120 grams Cake Flour (1 US Cup)
- 70 grams White Sugar (1/3 US Cup)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 90 ml Plant Based Milk
- 50 grams Apple Sauce
- 15 grams Plant Based Butter (unsalted) (1 tbsp - melted)
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
Instructions
Prep
- Gather all your ingredients and supplies. The butter should be melted and the milk at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C and spray your mini donut pan with oil.
To make the mini donuts
- Add 120g cake flour, 70g white sugar, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt to a mixing bowl and stir together.
- Add 15g melted butter, 50g apple sauce and 90ml plant based milk and mix until fully combined.
- Fill the donut cavities 1/2 full. I highly recommend putting the donut batter in a piping bag to help fill them evenly (less messy as well!).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes until well risen.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes then place the donuts on a cooling rack. Dust with icing sugar or glaze as required. Top tip: let the donuts cool completely before icing them.

Notes
- This recipe makes 24 mini donuts. These donuts are best enjoyed on the day of baking but will store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These pair wonderfully with my vegan caramel sauce or topped with an icing glaze.
- To freeze, seal in an airtight container. To defrost, remove from the freezer and leave on the counter to come to room temperature before opening the container. This will reduce condensation forming on the donuts.
