Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 180g
- ½ cup organic sugar 100g
- 1 tsp baking powder 4g
- ½ tsp baking soda 2g
- ¼ tsp salt 1g
- ¾ cup vegan milk 180ml
- ¼ cup maple syrup 60ml
- ¼ cup oil 60ml
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
- ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips 45g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your donut tray.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until evenly combined.

- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled donuts, or dip the tops, and let it set before serving.
