Chocolate Donuts with Cherry Glaze

Warning! You won’t be able to eat just one of these Chocolate Donuts with Cherry Glaze. They taste like a chocolate covered cherry…but as a donut.

Chocolate Donuts with Cherry Glaze {these yummy donuts are gluten free, dairy free, & vegan}

My favorite candy (when I could eat it) was a chocolate covered cherry! The dark chocolate ones….not the milk chocolate ones! Yes, I was that picky, but they were my favorites. I’ve dying to find a way to have those same flavors recently and thought making a donut that was reminiscent of those candies would be super delicious!

I was right! These were gobbled up in no time! And since they are baked and not fried, I’m calling them healthy! Ha!

I bought two of these donut pans so that I could bake everything all at once! My recipe fills both pans perfectly!12 Scrumptious Donut Recipes

 

I love the 12th of each month! It’s when some of my favorite ladies challenge each other to come up with a recipe that has 12 ingredients or less! This month we thought donuts would be a fun challenge! Don’t they all look totally scrumptious!?!?!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Donuts with Cherry Glaze

Yield: 12
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes
Total Time: 24 minutes

Warning! You won't be able to eat just one of these Chocolate Donuts with Cherry Glaze. They taste like a chocolate covered cherry...but in donut form. Dairy-free and gluten-free chocolate donuts.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose Gluten Free Flour (with xanthum gum)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs or egg substitute equivalent (I used Ener-G)
  • 2 tbls butter, melted (I used Earth Balance)
  • 1 tbls lemon juice
  • 1 cups Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbls butter, melted
  • 1 tbls cherry juice (from a marishino cherry jar)
  • dash cherry extract
  • Splash of almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Lightly spray two donut pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl combine lemon juice with almond milk to equal 1 cup and let sit for 5 minutes. This creates a "buttermilk" type milk or sour milk.
  3. Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the butter, eggs (or egg substitute), and prepared soured milk. Mix well, just until combined. Fill each donut cup about 2/3 full.
  4. Bake 7-9 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into donut comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before dipping into glaze. If donuts are too hot, the glaze will just slide right off!
  5. For the glaze: Combine powdered sugar, butter, cherry juice & extract in a small bowl. Mix well. Add milk by the teaspoon full until the glaze is just barely thin enough to dip your donuts (probably 2-3 tsps at the most)
  6. Note: If you use too much Cherry Extract it will taste like cherry cough drops...at least I think it does.

    Every time I see a recipe with chocolate and cherries, I am immediately drawn to them. And then my brain wanders to those little cordial cherries…with alcohol in them…and I start envisioning ways to make them ‘drunken’ recipes…of course, it might be a little unreasonable to serve rum with your donuts…unless there is a brunch…hmmm these might be perfect for brunch! Anyway, your pictures are beautiful and have me craving donuts…happy now? 😉
