Chocolate Frosted Doughnuts

Yields 12 plus donuts

Doughnut Ingredients:

  • 1 c garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 c unsweetened almond milk (or soy or rice)*
  • 3/4 t baking powder
  • 1/4 t baking soda
  • 2 T vanilla extract
  • 1 t apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 3/4 c chocolate chips
  • 1 c flour
  • pan Spray (we used avocado and/or grapeseed)

Chocolate Glaze Ingredients:

  • 5 T unsalted butter
  • 4 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 C confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 1/2 t vanilla extract
  • 1/4 C hot water

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 1⁄2 C powdered sugar
  • 3 T unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2-3 T milk*
  • food coloring and sprinkles
  1. For the Doughnuts - preheat oven to 350. Place the garbanzo beans, milk, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips a large glass bowl that sits on a saucepan, but does not touch 1/2 inch water on the bottom of pan. Pour the pureed mixture and flour into chocolate and stir until a thick batter forms.
  3. Spray two doughnut pans with cooking spray. Using a small spoon, carefully fill each doughnut well, smoothing out the batter with the back of the spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. While they’re cooling, make the glaze. Store uneaten doughnuts in an airtight container and enjoy within a day or two.
  5. For the Glaze - in a flat-bottomed bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter or coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Stir in 2 T milk, adding additional milk 1 t at a time to reach desired consistency and whisk until smooth - tint with food coloring if desired.
  6. Warm in microwave in 6-10 second intervals on high power to warm as it begins to set while dipping doughnuts, as needed, whisking after heating.
  7. For the Chocolate Glaze - fill the bottom pan of a double boiler with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. In the top pan of the double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips.
  8. Remove from the heat and whisk in the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and hot water until combined. Set the top pan over the simmering water and keep the glaze warm until ready to use.
