I’ve updated my simple baked donuts recipe to create something even simpler and more decadent: double chocolate strawberry donuts! All you need is a boxed vegan-friendly brownie mix, apple sauce, and soda water, plus melted chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a snappy coating that you’ll love.

These chocolate cake donuts are simultaneously rich and light. Skip the plant-based baking substitutes — all you need is club soda and a bit of applesauce to create a baked treat that everyone will crave.
