METHOD
To make the Donuts:
Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Lightly grease two doughnut pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium mixing bowl, combine non-dairy milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing. The batter will be extremely sticky.
Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pans with a pastry bag or plastic bag with a cut tip and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes before unmoulding.
To make the glaze: Melt chocolate chips and non-dairy milk together in a double boiler or microwave. Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth. Allow for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken and any powdered sugar clumps to dissolve.
To assemble the Donuts: Coat the tops of the doughnuts with the glaze. To give the doughnut a nice finish and prevent dripping, twist it as you remove it from the glaze. Sprinkle the topping over the glaze right away and set aside to set.
