Ingredients
  

Donut Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free flour can sub all-purpose if desired. This links to my favorite store bought gluten free flour blend that works best with all of my recipes, or see "Ingredients Needed" section for further info.
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar *if you want a sugar free option, this links to my favorite sweetener, you can substitute it 1:1 in place of regular granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup + 3 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp soda water see notes
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp neutral oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a donut pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.  Then add in the non-dairy milk, neutral oil, soda water, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  • The batter will seem thin, but trust me it will bake beautifully and keep the donuts fluffy and moist for days. Pour or spoon it evenly into the 6 donut molds in the pan.  Bake for 15 minutes, then let sit in the pan for 5 before moving to a cooling rack.
  • While cooling, melt together the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the dark chocolate chips, then add in the neutral oil to make it smoother and thinner to be able to coat the donuts.  Coat each one generously in chocolate, then move to a parchment paper lined pan. 
  • Let the donuts chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate shell has hardened.  
  • Eat and enjoy!

Notes

  • I talk more about the soda water in a few places above, but this works as an egg replacer and keeps the donut extra light and airy.  You can replace with regular filtered water if you don’t have any soda water, it will just produce a more dense donut.
