Non-dairy butter alternative: you’ll need this in the frosting.Look for their new teal colored packaging as pictured in the photo above! You can see the store locator here or you can also buy online direct from Enjoy Life or buy from Amazon here. Enjoy life chocolate is certified gluten-free, and is free of the top 8 allergens including dairy, making them perfect for these gluten-free, dairy-free donuts! I can find these at my local co-op, Whole Foods, Fred Meyer, and Albertsons stores. So I used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips for the frosting and for topping the donuts. Chocolate: Since I wanted these to be dairy-free, I needed the frosting to be dairy-free too.If you don’t need these to be dairy-free, feel free to use regular vanilla yogurt! If you use a plain yogurt, you’ll need to add some vanilla extract and a bit of sugar to the recipe. I’ve been so happy to see so many of my local stores carrying more dairy-free yogurt alternatives! I prefer using a vanilla one, and the recipe has been developed based on that vanilla flavor and sweetness from the yogurt. There are several on the market, so choose your favorite one that fits with your allergies, that is 5-5.3 ounces.

Yogurt: Since I wanted to make these dairy-free, I used a dairy-free yogurt alternative.Notes on ingredients for gluten-free chocolate frosted donuts: If you don’t normally like baked donuts, give these a try anyway. Now my gluten-free cinnamon sugar donuts are definitely a cake donut, and delicious, but that’s definitely a different texture than these. These aren’t anything like other baked donuts I’ve tried – they aren’t cakey at all. What’s unique about these donuts is that they’re soft like a yeast donut but they’re actually baked. Those were so good and were already dairy-free too, that I decided they’d make the perfect base for these chocolate frosted donuts. I’ve adapted this recipe from my popular gluten-free maple donut recipe. I decided to copy that mini chocolate chip idea for these homemade donuts! Some were covered with sprinkles, some with chopped peanuts, and some with chocolate chips. My favorite donut shop had a whole shelf full of chocolate donuts. While I often went for the maple bars and glazed twists, the plain ones with chocolate frosting always caught my eye too and I picked them. Growing up, my family went to get donuts often. If you miss ordering soft plain donuts slathered with chocolate frosting, you’ll love these gluten-free chocolate frosted donuts! They’re soft like a donut should be, without the hassle of frying! This easy gluten-free chocolate frosted doughnut recipe makes just 6 donuts, so you and your family can enjoy them all right away quickly!
