  • Total Time: 21 minutes
  • Yield: 6 donuts

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup wholemeal flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Toppings

  • 3 tbsp sprinkles
  • Dark or white chocolate (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (375°F) to prepare for baking the donuts.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, baking powder, and coconut sugar. Stir together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the almond milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Crack in the egg and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and consistent.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Gently fold the sprinkles into the batter, taking care not to overmix to preserve their shape.
  5. Prepare Donut Pan: Generously spray oil onto the donut pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into each donut mold, filling them adequately. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to flatten the tops and distribute the batter evenly.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the donut pan in the oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into a donut; it should come out mostly clean.
  7. Cool Donuts: Carefully remove the donuts from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark or white chocolate until smooth and glossy.
  9. Glaze Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle extra sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
  10. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate glaze to set fully before serving. Enjoy these delicious baked donuts fresh!

Notes

  • Wholemeal flour adds fiber and a nutty flavor, making the donuts more wholesome.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk if preferred.
  • For a crispier texture, bake donuts on a wire rack after removing from the pan.
  • Ensure not to overfill the donut molds to avoid batter overflow during baking.
  • Chocolate glaze can be customized by adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to achieve a smoother finish.
