What is better than coffee with your doughnuts? Coffee in your doughnuts! These Gluten-Free Mocha Fudge Doughnuts are seriously good doughnuts. I feel that I should point out that we don’t eat doughnuts for breakfast. In our house, doughnuts are considered a dessert. With good reason!
I am still having fun with my Sunbeam Donut Maker
that I bought last week. Too much fun! Once again I included directions for both the donut maker and my Norpro Donut Pans
. The donut maker creates smaller doughnuts, so it makes more then the doughnut pans.
Gluten-Free Mocha Fudge Doughnut Recipe
Ingredients
Doughnuts:
- ½ cup white rice flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ cup potato starch
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup softened butter (I used coconut oil)
- ¼ cup milk (I used almond milk)
- ½ cup coffee
Mocha Fudge Glaze:
- 1½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon coffee
- 2 tablespoon butter, softened ( I use Earth balance to make this dairy free)
- 2 tablespoon cocoa
- 1 tablespoon milk ( I use almond milk)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- pinch salt
Directions
Doughnuts:
- If using the oven preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease doughnut pans.
- In a medium bowl, mix flours, potato starch, cocoa, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add egg, milk, coffee butter or oil and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed just until mixed.
- Fill the donut pans ⅔ full. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes or until tops are brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Place the donut pans on cooling rack and let the doughnuts cool in the pans.
Glaze:
- Add butter, coffee, milk, vanilla, cocoa, and sugar to a small bowl. Mix well to ensure sugar is completely dissolved.
- Place wax paper or baking sheet beneath cooling rack.
- Spoon glaze over doughnuts.
Notes
If using a donut maker, fill the bottom portion until it is just full. Close the lid and cook for 7 minutes or until the donuts are brown. Remove the doughnuts and allow them to finish cooling on a cooling rack.

These were utter perfection! Chocolatey, perfect crumb for a donut, moist but in the most perfect way, mocha frosting was addicting. The entire doughnut is truly amazing! The entire family loved it! This will be a go to recipe for us from now on! Thank you!

I am sorry but its a totally gooey mixture, I was wondering that there is too much of tapioca flour, its a disaster ,if I did exactly what is written why is it like a gum??? so sad..thank you for your help
Alea Milham says
The batter is very gooey and thicker than brownie batter. Then you just spoon it into the doughnut machine or doughnut pan and it will bake into a nice doughnut.
Kristi says
What can I substitute for the coffee? Water? Almond milk? Thanks.
Alea Milham says
You can substitute any hot liquid. Make sure the water or almond milk is hot. It helps the chocolate to “bloom”.
