Dark Chocolate Chickpea Donuts

Dark Chocolate Chickpea Donuts

Dark Chocolate Chickpea Donuts. These donuts are vegan, healthy and a mix of cake and fudge-y texture. They are basically made of chickpeas and cacao, both of which are full of fiber, Vitamins A, E and K, and minerals. The glaze is coconut oil and cacao, and a perfect addition to any breakfast brunch!

INGREDIENTS

Donut

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
  • 1 cup almond flour (I use this brand)
  • 1/2 cup nut milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp vanilla powder (I use this brand)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • pinch of salt

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or melted cacao butter)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/8 cup maple syrup
  • I use this donut mold

METHOD

Blend ingredients for donuts, spoon into a coconut-oil-greased donut mold so circles are filled just to the top. Smooth with a spoon. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Tip donuts onto a cooking rack. When cooled, make glaze, and spoon over donuts.
Options:
1. To increase the cakey texture, swap the almond flour for a gluten-free all purpose flour.
2. To make it nut-free, swap the almond flour with buckwheat flour, though the donut won’t be as cakey in texture.
