Gluten free Vegan Chocolate Breakfast Donuts

Gluten free Vegan Chocolate Breakfast Donuts

Recipe by Gluten Free Baking By Rachelle (Rachelle Himmelman)

I have been on a donut making frenzy, I LOVE DONUTS!! These were so much fun to make and decorate.

I really get excited about pretty food.  The hubby and I just got back from a much needed mini vacation for our anniversary, we had so much fun and it made me come home inspired, yes inspired to make donuts of every variety I could think of. He he he! I would be baking for years if I made donuts of every variety I thought of, however this time I decided I would make these Gluten free Vegan Chocolate Breakfast Donuts, I really don't think these donuts will make it until breakfast they are that good! The hubby loves anything chocolate and the kids love anything sweet. 

 I have recently started using a new gluten free all purpose flour blend by Bavaria Mills that I really like, it bakes up so nice and has a very pleasant taste.  I know everyone has a blend of their own that they like to use and I have gone through many blends and still use a variety of different flours, but I really like this one for my donuts and future recipes.  The owner of Bavaria Mills is very nice and refers to us people with food allergies as part of the family, Thank you Mike!!
