Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Additional

  • 1 spray olive oil (for greasing)
  • ⅓ cup melted dark chocolate
  • 1 sprinkle sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add in the vanilla extract, eggs, and maple syrup, mixing well until a smooth donut batter forms.
  3. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into each mold of the donut pan, ensuring they are evenly filled for consistent baking.
  4. Bake the Donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
  5. Cool the Donuts: Remove the pan from the oven and let the donuts cool completely in the pan. This will help them set and make removal easier.
  6. Glaze with Chocolate: Dip each cooled donut into the melted dark chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Optionally, sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
  7. Set the Chocolate: Place the glazed donuts in the refrigerator for about one hour to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the donuts from the fridge and enjoy your delicious gluten-free baked chocolate donuts!

Notes

  • Ensure the donuts are completely cool before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Optional sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Store leftover donuts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Almond flour gives these donuts a moist texture but can be substituted with other gluten-free flours with modification.
