Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup boiling hot water
  • 3/4 cup Buckwheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup oil I prefer coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Dairy free chocolate or Dark chocolate (70%) melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease the cavities of your 12 cup mini donut pan well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and boiling hot water very well. Keep aside till it cools to room temperature.
  • In another bowl, combine all the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Whisk the sugar with the egg. Pour in the oil and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Then add in the cocoa mixture. Mix well gently.
  • Spoon in the batter, filling upto two thirds of each cavity. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted towards the center, comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake, these WILL dry out really fast.
  • Carefully turn them out and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Let cool completely and then dip in melted chocolate. Let set for a few moments, and enjoy!
  • These store very well in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
