If you are newsletter subscriber, you know all about my vegan/gluten free apple cider donut recipe. Well, as promised, here is the vegan/gluten free CHOCOLATE version I hinted at!

My kids and I made these for Hanukkah this year. SO yummy and a great activity to do with the kiddos! These were fast, easy and surprisingly REALLY yummy!!!

I also got a chance to finally use my new donut pans from Williams Sonoma!

And everything is better with @TheKarmaBaker Sprinkles!
