DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BAKED DOUGHNUTS

There's times when you really need a chocolate doughnut. Or seven.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BAKED DOUGHNUTS

195g (1 ½ cup) plain flour

130g (2/3 cup) caster sugar

60g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

½ teaspoon salt

250g (1 cup) pureed apple

180ml (3/4 cup) soya milk or other non-dairy milk

90ml (1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) sunflower oil or other flavourless oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze:

60ml (1/4 cup) canned coconut milk

75g (1/2 cup) dark chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease two doughnut tins. In a bowl mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix pureed apple, milk, oil and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix everything together with a spoon until just combined. Spoon the mixture evenly into the doughnut tins and bake for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Next make the glaze: place the coconut milk on medium heat until it starts simmering, then remove from the heat, add the chocolate chips and stir until melted and well combined. Dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze then decorate with pretty sprinkleeeesss.
