• Light brown sugar¾ cup (150 g)
• Large egg1 (50 g)
• Almond milk½ cup (120 g)
• Avocado oil3 tablespoons (42 g)
• Vanilla extract1 teaspoon (4 g)
• Chopped, pitted cherries½ cup (75 g)

• Cocoa powder¼ cup (25 g)
• Baking powder1 teaspoon (4 g)
• Salt1 teaspoon (6 g)

• Milk chocolate chips½ cup (90 g)
• Whole milk2 tablespoons (30 g)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) Pit and chop about half a cup of cherries. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, oil, sugar and vanilla.

Add in the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, chopped cherries and salt. Whisk this together for about a minute until just combined. Grease the donut pan. Add the batter into a piping bag and pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each one almost to the top of the donut mold.

Bake for 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto a sheet pan. Once the donuts are cooled down, make the chocolate glaze by heating up your milk and whisking your chocolate chips in until you have a smooth glaze. Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze.

Optionally, Add a few pieces of chopped cherries as a topping.
