How to Make Vegan Double Chocolate Donuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups overripe mashed bananas, 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup oil, and 2/3 cup maple syrup.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1 3/4 cup flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder, and 1 cup vegan chocolate chips.

Combine all of the ingredients together in the large bowl and stir until just evenly combined. Evenly fill the greased donut pan with batter. Make sure to fill each donut mold to the top with batter!

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Remove from pan onto a cooling rack, and repeat steps until all of the batter is gone.

Once the donuts are cooled, dunk the donuts into the chocolate glaze.

How to Make Vegan Chocolate Glaze for Donuts

Melt 2 tbsp vegan butter with 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips.

Once melted, stir in 2 tbsp soy/almond milk and 1 tbsp corn syrup.

Add in 1 cup powdered sugar and whisk together until smooth.

Tips for Making Vegan Double Chocolate Donuts

These Vegan Double Chocolate Donuts are so versatile! You can make these festive with any kind of topping or sprinkles you’d like! Like these Baked Valentine’s Day Donuts !

When dipping into the glaze, be sure to hold onto the bottom while turning the donut upside down to dip into the glaze.

Once the donut is dipped, turn right side up and place onto a cooling rack. You may need to poke the center of the donut gently with a toothpick if the glaze doesn’t drop down the center on it’s own.

The glaze hardens quickly. If it starts to harden in the bowl, just put it back in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and it will soften up so you can keep dunking!

Also, you don’t have to make these vegan. You can easily swap the vegan ingredients for regular milk, butter, and chocolate chips!

You don’t have to use the chocolate glaze, either. You can just leave them as cake donuts!
