If you don’t have a donut pan, (which you should purchase one just so you can make more donuts of course!) you can always use a mini muffin pan to make these!  Either way, who can resist chocolate donuts!

  1. I’m going to buy a donut pan because these donuts looks delicious. My grandkids would love eating them.

  2. Made these today using a square donut pan. The came out perfect and are delicious! However this time instead of the glaze I used sour cherries, made a drizzle from the juice, and then sprinkled some powdered sugar. So made them more like individual cakes.

  3. Made these doughnuts today. I was surprised how thick the batter was. I almost added more almond milk, however, wanted to see how they turned out. Very difficult to get through pastry bag. Will make again and add a little more almond milk next time.
