YOU GUYS.
I bought a donut pan.
My life is forever changed. LOOK!!
I made these!
I KNOW, right?????? Aren’t these the PERFECT Valentine’s Day treat? My kids are going to FLIP when they get home from school and find these babies waiting on the counter.
I have this pan: theย Norpro Nonstick 6-Count Donut Pan, and I highly recommend it. I actually bought 2 because most recipes make 12, not 6. The 6-count pan makes full-size donuts. The 12-count pan makes mini-donuts, so get the 6. Or get two of them, as I did. SO worth it!
So here’s how. Mine are gluten-free, but I’m pretty sure you can make these with regular all-purpose flour if that floats your boat.

These baked chocolate donuts are gluten free but you won’t miss it!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
- ยผ cup cocoa powder
- ยฝ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ยฝ teaspoon baking soda
- 1ยฝ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- sprinkles, toasted coconut, or nuts for toppings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a donut pan with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and butter.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine. Fold in ยฝ cup chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into donut pan, filling each well about ยฝ full. Bake 12-15 minutes or until you can lightly touch the tops of the donuts and they feel firm and cooked through. Remove them from the oven, cool 3-5 minutes in the pan, then remove to wire racks and cool completely.
- While the donuts cool, place the remaining cup of chocolate chips in a double broiler (or set a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water) and allow them to melt slowly. Spread melted chocolate on each donut, then sprinkle with your favorite topping.

Jo-Lynne, what are you doing in Philly girl? Making these amazing donuts will earn you a visit from from the neighbors and I makes me want to jump through the computer screen.
Donut pans are the BEST!! These are adorable! Great photo too!!
Oh man, I am trying to figure out if I can reach through the screen and grab one. I am sitting here with my morning coffee and drooling.
How many does this make? Thanks
It makes 12. ๐
Ok, it’s just crazy how perfect these look. And yummy. LOL
Think I could use your recipe in a cake pop maker to make doughnut holes?
I don’t know… I’ve never tried those but I would think so!
Any tips for making these dairy free too?
Try almond milk and melted coconut oil? I think the original recipe was actually written with almond milk and olive oil but olive oil sounded icky to me. I like coconut oil in baked goods and it’s super nutritious too!
What Gluten Free All Purpose Flour did you use?
I usually use bob’s red mill. I think that is the one I used for this. i sometimes use Glutino. I should try them both ways and see if there’s a difference!
