Ingredients
Chocolate Gluten Free Donuts
- 1⅓ (180) cup (grams) gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup natural cocoa* see notes if using Dutched cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 (1) Tablespoons (ounce) butter or vegan butter
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable safflower, sunflower or non-GMO canola oil
- 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (or 1½ Tablespoons mashed banana + 2 Tablespoons applesauce)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Chocolate Milk/Mylk OR Dark Chocolate protein drink like OWYN
Glaze
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons milk/mylk OR vanilla protein drink like OWYN
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Butter a donut pan containing six donut molds or lightly oil with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together gfJules Flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, oil and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add egg or substitute and mix.
- Slowly stir in dry gluten free flour mixture and milk of choice until smooth; do not over-mix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling only to the rim. Smooth batter with a wet spatula.
- Bake for 9 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not over-bake. Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before lifting out of the pan.
- To mix glaze, sift or whisk powdered sugar in a small bowl to remove clumps. Whisk in milk of choice and vanilla. Transfer to a flat bottom bowl.
- Dip each donut in the glaze and return to the wire rack with parchment or a pan underneath to keep down the mess!
- Add gluten free sprinkles if desired.

Notes
If you have only Dutch Processed cocoa instead of natural cocoa powder, use an equal amount of Dutched cocoa but replace the 1/2 teaspoon baking soda with 1 teaspoon baking powder.
In the video, I made this recipe in the Vevor Commercial Electric Donut Maker and it made about 34 mini donuts! I baked these at 350F for about 3 minutes; test with a toothpick for doneness. Use code VEV5OFF for 5% off this donut maker with the affiliate link.
