• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the wells of two standard doughnut pans with coconut oil spray. Set aside

Prepare the Flax Eggs:

• In a small bowl, place the flax meal and pour in the water.
  5 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons flax meal
• Stir to combine and set aside for at least 5 minutes while you begin preparing the doughnut batter.

Prepare the Donut Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, brown sugar, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
  ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour , 1 ¼ cups brown sugar, ¾ teaspoon espresso powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flax eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, and vinegar.
  ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon to blend.
• Add in the melted coconut oil and stir until evenly combined. The batter will be thick.
  ½ cup melted coconut oil
• Spoon batter in a gallon-sized ziptop bag and cut a ½-inch triangle off one of the corners to create a piping bag. 
• Twist the top of the bag to prevent batter from pushing out of the top while you’re piping.
• Pipe the batter into prepared pans, filling them to the top but not overflowing.
• Bake doughnuts for 11 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
• Remove the doughnuts from the oven and allow to cool in pans for 1 minute. Carefully turn doughnuts out onto a wire rack and allow to cool.

Make Icing:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut cream. 
  1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, 4 tablespoons coconut cream 
• Heat for 45-60 seconds, or just until the coconut cream is steaming and starting to bubble.
• Stir until the chips have melted and the icing is smooth.
• Dip the top of each doughnut in the icing and set on wire rack.
